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

String(4) // "4"
String(4.1) // "4.1"
String(4.10) // "4.1"
String(4.01) // "4.01"

parseFloat works, but you've got to cast it back to a string.
