Truncate number to two decimal places without rounding

Question

Suppose I have a value of 15.7784514, I want to display it 15.77 with no rounding.

var num = parseFloat(15.7784514);
document.write(num.toFixed(1)+\"


        

Answer 1

truncate without zeroes

function toTrunc(value,n){  
    return Math.floor(value*Math.pow(10,n))/(Math.pow(10,n));
}

or

function toTrunc(value,n){
    x=(value.toString()+".0").split(".");
    return parseFloat(x[0]+"."+x[1].substr(0,n));
}

test:

toTrunc(17.4532,2)  //17.45
toTrunc(177.4532,1) //177.4
toTrunc(1.4532,1)   //1.4
toTrunc(.4,2)       //0.4

truncate with zeroes

function toTruncFixed(value,n){
    return toTrunc(value,n).toFixed(n);
}

test:

toTrunc(17.4532,2)  //17.45
toTrunc(177.4532,1) //177.4
toTrunc(1.4532,1)   //1.4
toTrunc(.4,2)       //0.40
