Question

im using this code

$('tr').each(function () {
                var td = $(this).children('td').eq(1);
                var val = td.html();
                if (val > 1000) {

                    var fixedVal = parseFloat(parseFloat(val).toFixed(3));
                    td.html(fixedVal / 1000 + " KM");
                }
                else {
                    td.html(Math.round(val) + " M");
                }
            });

and yet iam getting values like

3.5101280000000004 KM
8761.596300000001 KM

the problem is that .toFixed() is not working properly.

Answer 1

You first fix the number and then you divide it by 1000, which creates a new floating point number. Call toFixed in your .html() line instead.

var fixedVal = parseFloat( val );
td.html( (fixedVal / 1000).toFixed( 3 ) + " KM" );
