Why does javascript returns so many zeros and not just 0.24
And how can i disable javascript to do this. Because when im using a calculator i never get the result 0.24000000000002
var sum = (0.0001 * 2400);
result 0.2400000000002
The reason for this is that your sum is a float which are known to not be very precise. This is a limitation of float values.
To fix this you need to round the decimals by either Math.round or .toFixed.
javascript always do that but you can make it show only 2 digits after the dot.
var sum = (0.0001 * 2400);
alert(sum.toFixed(2));

Every time I do something like + 1.6 or something that's a decimal, I get a lot of random numbers spammed behind the result. how to avoid?
var test = 1.2345;
console.log(test.toFixed(2))
// It will trim the result to the specified decimal places.
// |----> output will be 1.23 in thid case... It will keep upto 2 decimal places

How to deal with floating point number precision in JavaScript?

I hope theres a javascript expert that can help.
I am trying to round numbers to 2 decimal places
example
3.342 = 3.34
4.565 = 4.57
means from the third digit is 5 and above to round to the next decimal, and with no change below 5
I have something like
var num = Math.round(n*100)/100
and it works for other numbers but not for
n = 4.225 which rounded would be 4.23
and because I couldn't find the issue I printed
n*100 this is
4.225*100 and it turns I got 422.49999999999994 instead of 422.5
and that explains why Math.round gives me 4.22 instead of 4.23.
please, can anybody give some light on this issue?
This is happening with other numbers too and I have no solution yet.
I also added math.Epsilon like
(n+math.Epsion) * 100
You can use Math.round combined with toFixed to solve your problem:
console.log(Math.round((4.225*100).toFixed(1)) / 100)

Truncate number to two decimal places without rounding
(43 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm trying to get the first decimals of a float number without any kind of rounding.
Example:
var myfloat = 1.1864526;
myfloat = myfloat.toFixed(2);
It returns 1.19 but I need 1.18.
I'm pretty sure there is an easy solution but I am unable to find it without converting the number to a string (not useful in this case).
Multiply the float value by 100, get the int value of the result then divide that int by 100. Something like this should work:
((int)(myFloat*100)) / 100

var coeff='0.1';
var amount='12.2';
var res = Math.floor(parseFloat(amount) / parseFloat(coeff));
console.log(res);
Why the result of this is 121 (I was expecting 122)?
EDIT: my question was ambiguous: no trouble with the floor function. I was just wondering why 12.2 / 0.1 is not equal to 122.
the result is 121.99999999999999
from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/floor
The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.
so it cuts off the .99999. you might want to use
Math.round(parseFloat(amount) / parseFloat(coeff));
instead

How to round to at most 2 decimal places, if necessary
(91 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have the following number
0.135
I'd like to round it to 2 decimal places, I'm using...
(newCostDiff/2).toFixed(2)
only this returns
0.13
Can anyvody advise me on how to do this?
What's need of jquery
var newCostDiff = 0.135;
Math.round(newCostDiff *100)/100; //returns 0.14
You should first multiply the result by 10^(number of decimals), then round the number, than divide this number by 10^(number of decimals).
In this case:
Math.round((newCostDiff/2)*100) / 100;
