parseFloat rounding

Question

I have javascript function that automatically adds input fields together, but adding numbers like 1.35 + 1.35 + 1.35 gives me an output of 4.050000000000001, just as an exam

Answer 1

This works:

$(document).ready(
    function() {
            $('#field1').blur(function(){ $('#field2').val(parseFloat($(this).val() * 2.2).toFixed(1)); });
            $('#field2').blur(function(){ $('#field1').val(parseFloat($(this).val() / 2.2).toFixed(1)); });
    }
);

This fails:

$(document).ready(
    function() {
            $('#field1').blur(function(){ $('#field2').val(parseFloat($(this).val() * 2.2)).toFixed(1); });
            $('#field2').blur(function(){ $('#field1').val(parseFloat($(this).val() / 2.2)).toFixed(1); });
    }
);

So be careful the way you place your parenthesis ()... In first case, the rounding will work, but won't work in the second one...
