How to deal with Number precision in Actionscript?

Question

I have BigDecimal objects serialized with BlazeDS to Actionscript. Once they hit Actionscript as Number objects, they have values like:

140475.32 turns

Answer 1

Surprisingly the round function in MS Excel gives us different values then you have presented above. For example in Excel

Round(143,355;2) = 143,36

So my workaround for Excel round is like:

public function setPrecision(number:Number, precision:int):Number {
precision = Math.pow(10, precision);

const excelFactor : Number = 0.00000001;

number += excelFactor;

return (Math.round(number * precision)/precision);
}
