Question

I need to split the number 1.0765453 because I need to separate the km from the meters

The result should be 76 (ignoring the zero)

Can anyone offer a suggesti, please

Thanks, Richard

Answer 1

To use string methods first convert to a string:

var parts = 1.8765453.toString().split('.');

or

var parts = (''+1.8765453).split('.');

But you should do it like this and work only with numbers, not strings:

var distance = 1.8765453; // in Km
var km = Math.floor(distance);
var meters = Math.floor(distance * 1000) % 1000;

or, if you want it rounded rather than truncated:

var distance = 1.8765453; // in Km
var rounded = Math.round(1.8765453 * 1000);
var km = Math.floor(rounded / 1000);
var meters = rounded % 1000;
