I've got this number as a integer 439980
and I'd like to place a decimal place in 2 places from the right. to make it 4399.80
the number of characters can change any time, so i always need it to be 2 decimal places from the right.
how would I go about this?
thanks
function insertDecimal(num) {
return (num / 100).toFixed(2);
}
Just adding that toFixed() will return a string value, so if you need an integer it will require 1 more filter. You can actually just wrap the return value from nnnnnn's function with Number() to get an integer back:
function insertDecimal(num) {
return Number((num / 100).toFixed(2));
}
insertDecimal(99552) //995.52
insertDecimal("501") //5.01
The only issue here is that JS will remove trailing '0's, so 439980 will return 4399.8, rather than 4399.80 as you might hope:
insertDecimal(500); //5
If you're just printing the results then nnnnnn's original version works perfectly!
JavaScript's Number function can result in some very unexpected return values for certain inputs. You can forgo the call to Number and coerce the string value to an integer by using unary operators
return +(num / 100).toFixed(2);
or multiplying by 1 e.g.
return (num / 100).toFixed(2) * 1;
TIL: JavaScript's core math system is kind of weird
Number(1.11) * 100 = 111.00000000000001. Fun.
Number(), you seem to be saying that they can give different results? What are some example values where the results would be different? (Personally I prefer the unary plus, but I thought the results were the same.)Another Method
function makeDecimal(num){
var leftDecimal = num.toString().replace('.', ''),
rightDecimal = '00';
if(leftDecimal.length > 2){
rightDecimal = leftDecimal.slice(-2);
leftDecimal = leftDecimal.slice(0, -2);
}
var n = Number(leftDecimal+'.'+rightDecimal).toFixed(2);
return (n === "NaN") ? num:n
}
makeDecimal(3) // 3.00
makeDecimal(32) // 32.00
makeDecimal(334) // 3.34
makeDecimal(13e+1) // 1.30
Or
function addDecimal(num){
var n = num.toString();
var n = n.split('.');
if(n[1] == undefined){
n[1] = '00';
}
if(n[1].length == 1){
n[1] = n[1]+'0';
}
return n[0]+'.'+n[1];
}
addDecimal(1); // 1.00
addDecimal(11); // 11.00
addDecimal(111); // 111.00
Convert Numbers to money.
function makeMoney(n){
var num = n.toString().replace(/\$|\,/g,'');
if(isNaN(num))
num = "0";
sign = (num == (num = Math.abs(num)));
num = Math.floor(num*100+0.50000000001);
cents = num%100;
num = Math.floor(num/100).toString();
if(cents<10)
cents = "0" + cents;
for (var i = 0; i < Math.floor((num.length-(1+i))/3); i++)
num = num.substring(0,num.length-(4*i+3))+','+num.substring(num.length-(4*i+3));
return (((sign)?'':'-') + '$' + num + '.' + cents);
}
One More.
function addDecimal(n){
return parseFloat(Math.round(n * 100) / 100).toFixed(2);
}
