JavaScript - Rounding Inconsistancy
Code:
num = 1.025; alert(num.toFixed(2)); // - comes out as 1.02 num = 0.025; alert(num.toFixed(2)); // comes out as 0.03; Why is this? Similar TutorialsSo I use Math.round to round my solution off to the nearest thousandth, but if I put in 6 for the number I am solving for it returns 1.333 When I multiply that by 3 it gives me 3.999 when I really want 4.0 Is there any way I can use fractions or something to get around this? My project: http://wdroom.com/factor.html I recently started trying to learn javascript and I decided to try an exercise I found somewhere. Basically it involves counting eggs into total, dozen, and gross. The problem is when I put in a number lower than a full dozen or gross it rounds up and says I have the full dozen intead of the fraction. Ex. I say I have 143 eggs, it says I have 12 dozen. Obviously I am 1 short. Apparently the method(I think that is what it is called?) rounds to the nearest number. Which methods? round either up or down? Here is the code... Code: <html> <head> <title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> function eggs(number) { var total=prompt("eggs",""); alert("You have "+total+" eggs."); var dozen=(total/12); alert("You have "+dozen+" dozen eggs."); var gross=(total/144); alert("You have "+gross+" gross eggs."); var fulldozen=(Math.round(dozen)); alert("You have "+fulldozen+" dozen eggs."); var fullgross=(Math.round(gross)); alert("You have "+fullgross+" gross eggs."); } </script> </head> <body> <form> <a href="javascript:eggs('number')"><input type="button" value="Eggs" name="Eggs" size="30"></a> </form> </body> </html> Thanks for reading. Edit: Also, it goes through the whole thing twice. It will prompt the first time, go through, then prompt again. It terminates after the second though. Hello, I need to be able to get a number to 2dp without rounding e.g. 14.756 needs to be 14.75 I tried .toFixed(2) but this rounds. I thought of converting to a string and performing string functions but it seems like over kill if there is an easier way. thanks Hello guys I am doing a simple calculation. Here is the code Code: dose=1 A = document.rhogam.bleed.value B = document.rhogam.volume.value dose= (A*B)/3 dose=Math.round(dose*10)/10; this works fine and gives me an answer rounded to the tenths spot. the next step i need to do is round up by one if the tenths spot is less than 4 or round up by 2 if the tenths is 5 plus example 3.3=4 3.6=5 The code issue I am having is how do I read the tenths place in my result so that I can act on it? Thanks Jeremy Code: function convertee(){ value = document.inputFormee.argument.value; if (isNaN(value)){ alert(value+' is not a valid entry'); return; } arg = (value/1.75975326); arg = (parseInt(arg*100)/100).toFixed(3); document.inputFormee.result.value = arg; } Any help much appreciated. Saz. To Forum Thank you for being here. I have taken 2 calculators and edited them to get almost what i want. I need the final answer to round up to a whole number. The page is http://www.La-Dore.com/Goldleaf-Calculator.html The code i think you want to see is .... Code: <!-- end of script 1 begining of 2--> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function perRound(num, precision) { var precision = 3; precision = parseInt(precision); var result1 = num * Math.pow(10, precision); var result2 = Math.round(result1); var result3 = result2 / Math.pow(10, precision); return zerosPad(result3, precision); } function zerosPad(rndVal, decPlaces) { var valStrg = rndVal.toString(); var decLoc = valStrg.indexOf("."); if (decLoc == -1) { decPartLen = 0; valStrg += decPlaces > 0 ? "." : ""; } else { decPartLen = valStrg.length - decLoc - 1; } var totalPad = decPlaces - decPartLen; if (totalPad > 0) { for (var cntrVal = 1; cntrVal <= totalPad; cntrVal++) valStrg += "0"; } return valStrg; } function clear_field(field) { if (field.value==field.defaultValue) { field.value='' } } //Division function doMath(form) { var firstnumber = 0; var secondnumber = 0; var tempvalue = 0; firstnumber = eval(form.firstnumber.value); //first number secondnumber = eval(form.secondnumber.value); //second number tempvalue = (firstnumber) / (secondnumber); form.calcresult.value = (tempvalue); //out } // --> </script> Hi there, To summarize my problem: For example: Sales : $ 5 (id=sales) Discount: 11% (id=disc) Total Discount: $ 0.55 (id=disc) Rounded Discount: $ 0.6 (1 decimal) (id=rounded) Net Sales: $ 4.40 (id=net_sales) document.getElementById("net_sales").value = sales - rounded.toFixed(1); Net Sales: $ <input id = "net_sales" type="Text" name="net_sales" size="4" value="<?php if (!empty($net_sales)) echo $net_sales; ?>"> I tried the above, it is working in the browser. However, it cannot be written into MYSQL (with PHP). What is wrong with my Javascript? Thanks. Hi.. I have javascript code with computation, but I have problem in my result because it was not round off or fixed into two decimal places only. here is my code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function test_(cmpd) { var len_ = (document.frmMain.elements.length) - 1; for (i=0; i <= len_; i++ ) { var strPos_ = document.frmMain.elements[i].id.indexOf(cmpd) if (strPos_ != -1) { var strPos = document.frmMain.elements[i].id.indexOf("_"); var strId = document.frmMain.elements[i].id.slice(strPos + 1) + "_" + document.frmMain.elements[i].id.slice(0,strPos) // this is the computation that I need to fixed the result into two decimal places document.frmMain.elements[i].value = document.getElementById(strId).value * document.getElementById('mult').value; } } } </script> Thank you so much I am currently using a price calculator - although it's really not a calculator; I have to enter every price manually. Currently, it works in half inch increments. I need it to do two things that it doesn't do currently: 1) Allow the customer to enter a dimension in 1/4 inch increments (1/8 would be even better, but I'm not requesting a miracle) 2) Make the result automatically round up to the nearest 1/2 inch Page containing calculator External file: sizecalc.js I have tried many ways to do this and have also searched the forum, no go. I was doing it manually doing this: Code: Math.round((#)*100)/100 But no go, so I found this function here on the forum: Code: function roundNumber(num, dec) { var result = Math.round(num*Math.pow(10,dec))/Math.pow(10,dec); return result; } No go, it works yes, don't get me wrong. But I am working on a invoicing system and it needs to be exact. For instance with this number: Quote: 0.27470000001 It returns 0.27, when in reality it should return 0.28 because of the 7 changes the 4 to 5 and then 5 changes the 7 to 8. But it doesn't work. While reading some things I found while searching google I see that Math.round doesn't work 100% the way it should mathematically. So what options do I have left, I can't believe that a simple rounding calculationg that excel can do ha ha JS cannot. Wizards - I have a challenge! I am writing a timecard app. The stipulatioin is all Hours fields can only be whole hours or half hour increments. For example, 1.0 is good, 1.5 is good, 1.2 is bad, 1.9 is bad. I would like to have the field automatically change a value of 1.9 to a value of 2.0 (perhaps onKeyUp). I would like to have the field automatically change a value of 3.2 to a value of 3.0. In a nutshell - only allow whole and half hour values. Otherwise round up OR round down. Thanks for any help you can provide. I am successfully using the Pengoworks plugin for calculations - absolutely priceless. If you think modifications can be made to it, plz let me know. |
