What can be fixed about returns?

toFixed() returns an exact string representation of numberObj. It does not use exponential notation, and it has exactly the same digits as the decimal place. If necessary, the number is rounded and the fractional portion is padded with zeros to ensure that it is the required length.



People often ask: How do I use toFixed?"

To format a number in fixed-point notation, JavaScript uses the toFixed() function. It can be used for formatting a number with a specified number of digits to right of the decimal. The toFixed() function can be used with a number using the ". operator.

What is toFixed, you ask? ToFixed() converts a number to a string while preserving a specific number of decimals. Notice: If the number of decimals you want is greater than the actual number, nulls will be added to get the desired decimal length.

You may also wonder, "Does toFixed round up?"

ToFixed was not intended for rounding. It converts a floating-point (exponent, mantissa), into a fixed point (integers, decimals). (See definition). It might appear that it is rounding because the rounded number represents the closest representation to the floating-point original.

JavaScript: How can I round JavaScript to 2 decimal places?

You can use this formula to get the result using two decimals: var discount = Mathematics Round(100 - (price/listprice) * 100 * 100) / 100. The value to round is multiplied with 100 to retain the first two digits. Next, we divide 100 by 100 to get our actual result.
