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

Simple do this

number = parseInt(number * 100)/100;

Answer 2

Here is what is did it with string

export function withoutRange(number) {
  const str = String(number);
  const dotPosition = str.indexOf('.');
  if (dotPosition > 0) {
    const length = str.substring().length;
    const end = length > 3 ? 3 : length;
    return str.substring(0, dotPosition + end);
  }
  return str;
}

Update 5 Nov 2016

New answer, always accurate

function toFixed(num, fixed) {
    var re = new RegExp('^-?\\d+(?:\.\\d{0,' + (fixed || -1) + '})?');
    return num.toString().match(re)[0];
}

As floating point math in javascript will always have edge cases, the previous solution will be accurate most of the time which is not good enough. There are some solutions to this like num.toPrecision, BigDecimal.js, and accounting.js. Yet, I believe that merely parsing the string will be the simplest and always accurate.

Basing the update on the well written regex from the accepted answer by @Gumbo, this new toFixed function will always work as expected.

Old answer, not always accurate.

Roll your own toFixed function:

function toFixed(num, fixed) {
    fixed = fixed || 0;
    fixed = Math.pow(10, fixed);
    return Math.floor(num * fixed) / fixed;
}

Answer 4

I used (num-0.05).toFixed(1) to get the second decimal floored.

Answer 5

Building on David D's answer:

function NumberFormat(num,n) {
  var num = (arguments[0] != null) ? arguments[0] : 0;
  var n = (arguments[1] != null) ? arguments[1] : 2;
  if(num > 0){
    num = String(num);
    if(num.indexOf('.') !== -1) {
      var numarr = num.split(".");
      if (numarr.length > 1) {
        if(n > 0){
          var temp = numarr[0] + ".";
          for(var i = 0; i < n; i++){
            if(i < numarr[1].length){
              temp += numarr[1].charAt(i);
            }
          }
          num = Number(temp);
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return Number(num);
}

console.log('NumberFormat(123.85,2)',NumberFormat(123.85,2));
console.log('NumberFormat(123.851,2)',NumberFormat(123.851,2));
console.log('NumberFormat(0.85,2)',NumberFormat(0.85,2));
console.log('NumberFormat(0.851,2)',NumberFormat(0.851,2));
console.log('NumberFormat(0.85156,2)',NumberFormat(0.85156,2));
console.log('NumberFormat(0.85156,4)',NumberFormat(0.85156,4));
console.log('NumberFormat(0.85156,8)',NumberFormat(0.85156,8));
console.log('NumberFormat(".85156",2)',NumberFormat(".85156",2));
console.log('NumberFormat("0.85156",2)',NumberFormat("0.85156",2));
console.log('NumberFormat("1005.85156",2)',NumberFormat("1005.85156",2));
console.log('NumberFormat("0",2)',NumberFormat("0",2));
console.log('NumberFormat("",2)',NumberFormat("",2));
console.log('NumberFormat(85156,8)',NumberFormat(85156,8));
console.log('NumberFormat("85156",2)',NumberFormat("85156",2));
console.log('NumberFormat("85156.",2)',NumberFormat("85156.",2));

// NumberFormat(123.85,2) 123.85

// NumberFormat(0.851,2) 0.85

// NumberFormat("0",2) 0
// NumberFormat("",2) 0
// NumberFormat(85156,8) 85156
// NumberFormat("85156",2) 85156
// NumberFormat("85156.",2) 85156

Answer 6

It's more reliable to get two floating points without rounding.

Reference Answer

var number = 10.5859;
var fixed2FloatPoints = parseInt(number * 100) / 100;
console.log(fixed2FloatPoints);
