I have a function that I'm using to remove unwanted characters (defined as currency symbols) from strings then return the value as a number. When returning the value, I am making the following call:
return parseFloat(x);
The problem I have is that when x == "0.00" I expect to get 0.00 (a float with two decimals) back. What I get instead is simply 0.
I've also tried the following:
return parseFloat(x).toFixed(2);
and still get simply 0 back. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

The parseFloat() function parses an argument (converting it to a string first if needed) and returns a floating point number.
parseFloat() method parses an argument and returns a floating point number. If a number cannot be parsed from the argument, it returns NaN .
The parseFloat() method parses a value as a string and returns the first number.
The parseFloat() method in Float Class is a built in method in Java that returns a new float initialized to the value represented by the specified String, as done by the valueOf method of class Float. Parameters: It accepts a single mandatory parameter s which specifies the string to be parsed.
parseFloat() turns a string into a floating point number. This is a binary value, not a decimal representation, so the concept of the number of zeros to the right of the decimal point doesn't even apply; it all depends on how it is formatted back into a string. Regarding toFixed, I'd suggest converting the floating point number to a Number:
new Number(parseFloat(x)).toFixed(2); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
