jQuery validate: number vs digits

Question

I wonder, what is the difference between number and digits methods? I have been working with this plugin for a long time, and both of these methods seem to return the same result...

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Number rule will accept decimal numbers where as Digits won't accept decimals instead only digits.

Number

12.1 // true
-4   // true

Digits

12.1 // false
-4   // false
