How to format numbers in JavaScript?

---

• JavaScript culture sensitive currency formatting

Answer 1

The best you have with JavaScript is toFixed() and toPrecision() functions on your numbers.

var num = 10; var result = num.toFixed(2); // result will equal 10.00  num = 930.9805; result = num.toFixed(3); // result will equal 930.981  num = 500.2349; result = num.toPrecision(4); // result will equal 500.2  num = 5000.2349; result = num.toPrecision(4); // result will equal 5000  num = 555.55; result = num.toPrecision(2); // result will equal 5.6e+2 

Currency, commas, and other formats will have to be either done by you or a third party library.
