How can I format or trim a number to remove prefixed '0' ?

Question

I have two numbers: 02.95 and 03.28

I would like to remove the extra 0 from front.

My Expected output: 2.95 and 3.28

How can I achieve this in Javascript?

the thing to point out is that you actual have two strings and want to make numbers from them...regardless of how many zeros you have up front — beauXjames, Oct 16 '15 at 14:24

If they are individual strings themselves, the fastest and shortest way would be to convert them to numeric values with the Unary Plus (+) prefix:

+"02.95"  ->  2.95
+"03.28"  ->  3.28
