Synopsis
number.toFixed(digits)
Arguments
- digits
-
The number of digits to appear after the decimal point; this may be a
value between 0 and 20, inclusive, and implementations may optionally
support a larger range of values. If this argument is omitted, it is
treated as 0.
Returns
A string representation of number that
does not use exponential notation and has exactly
digits digits after the decimal place. The
number is rounded if necessary, and the fractional part is padded
with zeros if necessary so that it has the specified length. If
number is greater than 1e+21, this method
simply calls Number.toString( ) and returns a
string in exponential notation.
Throws
- RangeError
-
If digits is too small or too large.
Values between 0 and 20, inclusive, will not cause a RangeError.
Implementations are allowed to support larger and smaller values as
well.
- TypeError
-
If this method is invoked on an object that is not a Number.
Example
var n = 12345.6789;
n.toFixed( ); // Returns 12346: note rounding, no fractional part
n.toFixed(1); // Returns 12345.7: note rounding
n.toFixed(6); // Returns 12345.678900: note added zeros
(1.23e+20).toFixed(2); // Returns 123000000000000000000.00
(1.23e-10).toFixed(2) // Returns 0.00
