Here's the scenario: I'm getting .9999999999999999
when I should be getting 1.0
.
I can afford to lose a decimal place of precision, so I'm using .toFixed(15)
, which kind of works.
The rounding works, but the problem is that I'm given 1.000000000000000
.
Is there a way to round to a number of decimal places, but strip extra whitespace?
Note: .toPrecision
isn't what I want; I only want to specify how many numbers after the decimal point.
Note 2: I can't just use .toPrecision(1)
because I need to keep the high precision for numbers that actually have data after the decimal point. Ideally, there would be exactly as many decimal places as necessary (up to 15).
>>> parseFloat(0.9999999.toFixed(4));
1
>>> parseFloat(0.0009999999.toFixed(4));
0.001
>>> parseFloat(0.0000009999999.toFixed(4));
0
