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

I fixed using following simple way-

var num = 15.7784514;
Math.floor(num*100)/100;

Results will be 15.77

General solution to truncate (no rounding) a number to the n-th decimal digit and convert it to a string with exactly n decimal digits, for any n≥0.

function toFixedTrunc(x, n) {
  const v = (typeof x === 'string' ? x : x.toString()).split('.');
  if (n <= 0) return v[0];
  let f = v[1] || '';
  if (f.length > n) return `${v[0]}.${f.substr(0,n)}`;
  while (f.length < n) f += '0';
  return `${v[0]}.${f}`
}

where x can be either a number (which gets converted into a string) or a string.

Here are some tests for n=2 (including the one requested by OP):

0           => 0.00
0.01        => 0.01
0.5839      => 0.58
0.999       => 0.99
1.01        => 1.01
2           => 2.00
2.551       => 2.55
2.99999     => 2.99
4.27        => 4.27
15.7784514  => 15.77
123.5999    => 123.59
0.000000199 => 1.99 *

* As mentioned in the note, that's due to javascript implicit conversion into exponential for "1.99e-7" And for some other values of n:

15.001097   => 15.0010 (n=4)
0.000003298 => 0.0000032 (n=7)
0.000003298257899 => 0.000003298257 (n=12)

Answer 3

These solutions do work, but to me seem unnecessarily complicated. I personally like to use the modulus operator to obtain the remainder of a division operation, and remove that. Assuming that num = 15.7784514:

num-=num%.01;

This is equivalent to saying num = num - (num % .01).

Answer 4

num = 19.66752
f = num.toFixed(3).slice(0,-1)
alert(f)

This will return 19.66

Answer 5

parseInt is faster then Math.floor

function floorFigure(figure, decimals){
    if (!decimals) decimals = 2;
    var d = Math.pow(10,decimals);
    return (parseInt(figure*d)/d).toFixed(decimals);
};

floorFigure(123.5999)    =>   "123.59"
floorFigure(123.5999, 3) =>   "123.599"

Answer 6

function formatLimitDecimals(value, decimals) {
  value = value.toString().split('.')

  if (value.length === 2) {
    return Number([value[0], value[1].slice(0, decimals)].join('.'))
  } else {
    return Number(value[0]);
  }
}

console.log(formatLimitDecimals(4.156, 2)); // 4.15
console.log(formatLimitDecimals(4.156, 8)); // 4.156
console.log(formatLimitDecimals(4.156, 0)); // 4
