How to parse float with two decimal places in javascript?

Question

I have the following code. I would like to have it such that if price_result equals an integer, let\'s say 10, then I would like to add two decimal places. So 10 would be 10

Answer 1

If your objective is to parse, and your input might be a literal, then you'd expect a float and toFixed won't provide that, so here are two simple functions to provide this:

function parseFloat2Decimals(value) {
    return parseFloat(parseFloat(value).toFixed(2));
}

function parseFloat2Decimals(value,decimalPlaces) {
    return parseFloat(parseFloat(value).toFixed(decimalPlaces));
}
