You can do several things:

total = total.toFixed([number of decimals]);
total = Math.round(total);
total = parseInt(total);

1. toFixed() will round your number to the number of decimals indicated.

2. Math.round() will round numbers to the nearest integer.

3. parseInt() will take a string and attempt to parse an integer from it without rounding. parseInt() is a little trickier though, in that it will parse the first characters in a string that are numbers until they are not, meaning parseInt('123g32ksj') will return 123, whereas parseInt('sdjgg123') will return NaN.

   • For the sake of completeness, parseInt() accepts a second parameter which can be used to express the base you’re trying to extract with, meaning that, for instance,
     parseInt('A', 16) === 10 if you were trying to parse a hexidecimal.
