chop unused decimals with javascript

Question

I\'ve got a currency input and need to return only significant digits. The input always has two decimal places, so:

4.00  ->  4
4.10  ->  4.1
4.01  ->           


        

Answer 1

Your code also chops off zeros in numbers like "1000". A better variant would be to only chop of zeros that are after a decimal point. The basic replacement with regular expressions would look like this:

str.replace(/(\.[0-9]*?)0+$/, "$1"); // remove trailing zeros
str.replace(/\.$/, "");              // remove trailing dot
