I’m doing some calculation with numbers and would like to only print an integer

  • 0

I’m doing some calculation with numbers and would like to only print an integer (the number without the decimals).

I thought that the toFixed() method of the Number class would do the trick, and it does most of the time. But quite frequently strange values are returned. Here are 2 examples:

  • Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns
    "0." while
    Number(1.002).toFixed(0) returns
    "1" (without the period)

  • Once in a while, Number(0.002).toFixed(0) returns "1"

Needless to say that’s not the expected behaviour. Am I not using this method correctly?

**edit: **
I know I just have to do int(0.002) to get 0 but I’d like to understand that strange behaviour.

    This is a known bug. The unsexy workaround is to use either use Math.round() or just checking the returned string for that trailing period.
