How can we get exactly 2 digits after the decimal point in JavaScript?

Question

For Example,

0.14 instead of 0.1445436

9.94 instead of 9.94476

9.99 instead of 9.99996544

8.90 instead of 8.9

You should read the manual next time - `.toFixed(2)` returns a string with the number rounded to 2 points. — Benjamin Gruenbaum, Apr 08 '14 at 18:47
@BenjaminGruenbaum unfortunately `.toFixed(2)` doesn't add padding for a value like `0.2`. -- **oops yes it does, sorry** — Pointy, Apr 08 '14 at 18:47
@BenjaminGruenbaum yep I was fumbling with the console but you're 100% right. I guess I don't code with that API very often. — Pointy, Apr 08 '14 at 18:49
@Pointy +1 for admitting you're wrong instead of deleting and hiding. — SomeKittens, Apr 08 '14 at 18:50
@DanielBank Totally not a duplicate, it off by 1 whole decimal place! XD smh — SGM1, Apr 09 '14 at 00:46

0

 n = 0.14
nDec = n.toFixed(2)

You need to throw the toFixed() method at the number. The number in parens is the number of digits from teh decimal.
