Adding 0s after the decimal point in javascript

Question

I have searched through a lot of threads and all of them give the same answer.

I am trying to add 0s right after the decimal point to an integer. If I have var a = 25. I want to modify a such that its value is 25.0. Most of the offered solutions either suggest appending a string ".0" or using .toFixed() which appends any number of 0s you want but still returns a string. I want the response to be float number and not a string.

Any thoughts on how I could achieve this?

Thanks.

Float numbers don't store data like that (or any number type for that matter). Such visual things must be done with a string. — Nathan Merrill

You can't achieve this, that is why all the answer you've found uses a string. — adeneo

That has to be done as a string. The number is 25, wether it's a float, int, decimal, whatever. To include trailing 0s it must be a string (which you do for display, not for storing it in your object). — CaffGeek

Javascript doesn't have int and float. It has only number. — Matt Burland

It has been a while since someone used this thread, but just in case someone needs it I think the answer you are looking for is:

.toFixed(2)

Example:

let number = 4;
return number.toFixed(2) //4.00
