How do I achieve that zero is shown in numbers?

Question

I am writing an application that outputs a price. My code for formatting the price is the following:

var preis_formatted = new Number(preis);
var preis_formatted = Number(preis_formatted.toFixed(2)).toLocaleString("nl-NL");

My problem: There are outputs like "26,4" where the 0 of decimals after the comma are not shown. How do I achieve that the output will be "26,40"?

First you parse it as a `Number`, then you format it (with `toFixed`), then you parse that *again* as a Number and then you format it again (with `toLocaleString`)... What exactly are you trying to do here? — Mattias Buelens, Feb 16 '14 at 16:42

I think you misplaced the paren. This:

var preis_formatted = Number(preis_formatted.toFixed(2)).toLocaleString("nl-NL");

Should be this:

var preis_formatted = Number(preis_formatted).toFixed(2).toLocaleString("nl-NL");

And also you don't really need that toLocaleString.
