PHP round($num,2) and javascript toFixed(2) is not giving right output for this value 53.955

I have one php function and having
phpans = round(53.955,2)
and javascript function
var num = 53.955;
var jsans = num.toFixed(2);
console.log(jsans);
both jsans and phpans is giving different $phpans = 53.96 ans jsans = 53.95 . I can not understand why this is happening ..
Thanks is Advance

Because computers can't represent floating numbers properly. It's probably 53.95400000000009 or something like that. The way to deal with this is multiply by 100, round, then divide by 100 so the computer is only dealing with whole numbers.
var start = 53.955,
res1,
res2;
res1 = start.toFixed(2);
res2 = (start * 100).toFixed(0) / 100;
console.log(res1, res2);
//Outputs
"53.95"
53.96

JAvascript toFixed:
The toFixed() method converts a number into a string, keeping a specified number of decimals.
php round:
Returns the rounded value of val to specified precision (number of digits after the decimal point). precision can also be negative or zero (default).
Conclusion tofixed not working like php round. precision Specifies the number of decimal digits to round to.
Javascript function :
function round_up (val, precision) {
power = Math.pow (10, precision);
poweredVal = Math.ceil (val * power);
result = poweredVal / power;
return result;
}

parseInt not converting decimal to binary?

From my understanding the binary number system uses as set of two numbers, 0's and 1's to perform calculations.
Why does:
console.log(parseInt("11", 2)); return 3 and not 00001011?
http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/decimal-to-binary-converter

Use toString() instead of parseInt:
11..toString(2)
var str = "11";
var bin = (+str).toString(2);
console.log(bin)
According JavaScript's Documentation:
The following examples all return NaN:
parseInt("546", 2); // Digits are not valid for binary representations

parseInt(number, base) returns decimal value of a number presented by number parameter in base base.
And 11 is binary equivalent of 3 in decimal number system.
var a = {};
window.addEventListener('input', function(e){
a[e.target.name] = e.target.value;
console.clear();
console.log( parseInt(a.number, a.base) );
}, false);
<input name='number' placeholder='number' value='1010'>
<input name='base' placeholder='base' size=3 value='2'>

As stated in the documentation for parseInt: The parseInt() function parses a string argument and returns an integer of the specified radix (the base in mathematical numeral systems).
So, it is doing exactly what it should do: converting a binary value of 11 to an integer value of 3.
If you are trying to convert an integer value of 11 to a binary value than you need to use the Number.toString method:
console.log(11..toString(2)); // 1011

.toString(2) works when applied to a Number type.
255.toString(2) // syntax error
"255".toString(2); // 255
var n=255;
n.toString(2); // 11111111
// or in short
Number(255).toString(2) // 11111111
// or use two dots so that the compiler does
// mistake with the decimal place as in 250.x
255..toString(2) // 11111111

The parseInt() function parses a string argument and returns an integer of the specified radix (the base in mathematical numeral systems).
So you are telling the system you want to convert 11 as binary to an decimal.
Specifically to the website you are referring, if you look closer it is actually using JS to issue a HTTP GET to convert it on web server side. Something like following:
http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hesapla.php?fonksiyon=dec2bin&deger=11&pad=false

The shortes method I've found for converting a decimal string into a binary is:
const input = "54654";
const output = (input*1).toString(2);
print(output);

I think you should understand the math behind decimal to binary conversion. Here is the simple implementation in javascript.
main();
function main() {
let input = 12;
let result = decimalToBinary(input);
console.log(result);
}
function decimalToBinary(input) {
let base = 2;
let inputNumber = input;
let quotient = 0;
let remainderArray = [];
let resultArray = [];
if (inputNumber) {
while (inputNumber) {
quotient = parseInt(inputNumber / base);
remainderArray.push(inputNumber % base);
inputNumber = quotient;
}
for (let i = remainderArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
resultArray.push(remainderArray[i]);
}
return parseInt(resultArray.join(''));
} else {
return `${input} is not a valid input`;
}
}

This is an old question, however I have another solution that might contribute a little bit. I usually use this function to convert a decimal number into a binary:
function dec2bin(dec) {
return (dec >>> 0).toString(2);
}
The dec >>> 0 converts the number into a byte and then toString(radix) function is called to return a binary string. It is simple and clean.
Note: a radix is used for representing a numeric value. Must be an integer between 2 and 36. For example:
2 - The number will show as a binary value
8 - The number will show as an octal value
16 - The number will show as an hexadecimal value

function num(n){
return Number(n.toString(2));
}
console.log(num(5));

This worked for me: parseInt(Number, original_base).toString(final_base)
Eg: parseInt(32, 10).toString(2) for decimal to binary conversion.

Here is a concise recursive version of a manual decimal to binary algorithm:
Divide decimal number in half and aggregate remainder per operation until value==0 and print concatenated binary string
Example using 25: 25/2 = 12(r1)/2 = 6(r0)/2 = 3(r0)/2 = 1(r1)/2 = 0(r1) => 10011 => reverse => 11001
function convertDecToBin(input){
return Array.from(recursiveImpl(input)).reverse().join(""); //convert string to array to use prototype reverse method as bits read right to left
function recursiveImpl(quotient){
const nextQuotient = Math.floor(quotient / 2); //divide subsequent quotient by 2 and take lower limit integer (if fractional)
const remainder = ""+quotient % 2; //use modulus for remainder and convert to string
return nextQuotient===0?remainder:remainder + recursiveImpl(nextQuotient); //if next quotient is evaluated to 0 then return the base case remainder else the remainder concatenated to value of next recursive call
}
}

To get better understanding, I think you should try to do the math of that conversion by yourself.
(1) 11 / 2 = 5
(1) 5 / 2 = 2
(0) 2 / 2 = 1
(1) 1 / 2 = 0
I made a function based on that logic
function decimalToBinary(inputNum) {
let binary = [];
while (inputNum > 0) {
if (inputNum % 2 === 1) {
binary.splice(0,0,1);
inputNum = (inputNum - 1) / 2;
} else {
binary.splice(0,0,0);
inputNum /= 2;
}
}
binary = binary.join('');
console.log(binary);
}

This is what I did to get the solution:
function addBinary(a,b) {
// function that converts decimal to binary
function dec2bin(dec) {
return (dec >>> 0).toString(2);
}
var sum = a+b; // add the two numbers together
return sum.toString(2); //converts sum to binary
}
addBinary(2, 3);
I first converted the decimal number to binary like it said, and I got the function from w3schools under the JavaScript Bitwise lesson. Then to make it easier on myself, I created the variable "sum" which does the addition and finally, I made the addBinary function return the sum as a binary code, then called it. It passed in CodeWars. I hope this makes sense and it helps you.

Just use Number(x).toString(base). Where base needs to be equals 2.
var num1=13;
Number(num1).toString(2)
result: "1101"
Number(11).toString(2)
result: "1011"

It seems like the conversion with the string radix (dec >>> 0).toString(2) is returning the binary number formatted in the wrong direction. I have validated this solution in Chrome. In case anyone wants to manually calculate binary for validation, from left to right you add the numbers together that correspond to a 1 position in your binary number mapping to [1][2][4][8][16][32][64][128] ....
For example:
10 in binary is 0101 OR 0 + 2 + 0 + 8.
13 in binary is 1011 OR 1 + 0 + 4 + 8.
255 in binary is 11111111 OR 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128
function dec2bin(dec){
return (dec >>> 0).toString(2).split('').reverse().join('');
}

This will give the decimal to binary:
let num = "1234"
console.log(num.toString(2));
This will give binary to decimal:
let num = "10011010010";
console.log(parseInt(num, 2));

toFixed function not working properly ( please give a reason not an alternative)

toFixed() function responding differently for float values.
For Example:
var a = 2.555;
var b = 5.555;
console.log(a.toFixed(2)); /* output is 2.56 */
console.log(b.toFixed(2)); /* output is 5.55 */
For 2.555/3.555 results are (2.56/3.56)
and
For other values(not sure for all values) it is showing #.55 (# refers to any number)
I am confused can any one help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Javascript uses a binary floating point representation for numbers (IEEE754).
Using this representation the only numbers that can be represented exactly are in the form n/2m where both n and m are integers.
Any number that is not a rational where the denominator is an integral power of two is impossible to represent exactly because in binary it is a periodic number (it has infinite binary digits after the point).
The number 0.5 (i.e. 1/2) is fine, (in binary is just 0.1₂) but for example 0.55 (i.e. 11/20) cannot be represented exactly (in binary it's 0.100011001100110011₂… i.e. 0.10(0011)₂ with the last part 0011₂ repeating infinite times).
If you need to do any computation in which the result depends on exact decimal numbers you need to use an exact decimal representation. A simple solution if the number of decimals is fixed (e.g. 3) is to keep all values as integers by multiplying them by 1000...
2.555 --> 2555
5.555 --> 5555
3.7 --> 3700
and adjusting your computation when doing multiplications and divisions accordingly (e.g. after multiplying two numbers you need to divide the result by 1000).
The IEEE754 double-precision format is accurate with integers up to 9,007,199,254,740,992 and this is often enough for prices/values (where the rounding is most often an issue).

Try this Demo Here
function roundToTwo(num) {
alert(+(Math.round(num + "e+2") + "e-2"));
}
roundToTwo(2.555);
roundToTwo(5.555);

toFixed() method depending on Browser rounds down or retain.
Here is the solution for this problem, check for "5" at the end
var num = 5.555;
var temp = num.toString();
if(temp .charAt(temp .length-1)==="5"){
temp = temp .slice(0,temp .length-1) + '6';
}
num = Number(temp);
Final = num.toFixed(2);
Or reusable function would be like
function toFixedCustom(num,upto){
var temp = num.toString();
if(temp .charAt(temp .length-1)==="5"){
temp = temp .slice(0,temp .length-1) + '6';
}
num = Number(temp);
Final = num.toFixed(upto);
return Final;
}
var a = 2.555;
var b = 5.555;
console.log(toFixedCustom(a,2));
console.log(toFixedCustom(b,2));

javascript division giving wrong answer? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to deal with floating point number precision in JavaScript?
(47 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
alert(5.30/0.1);
This gives 52.99999999999999 but should be 53. Can anybody tell how and why?
I want to find that a number is divisible by a given number. Note that one of the number may be a float.

For the same reason that
0.1 * 0.2 //0.020000000000000004
Some decimal numbers can't be represented in IEEE 754, the mathematical representation used by JavaScript. If you want to perform arithmetic with these numbers in your question, it would be better to multiply them until they are whole numbers first, and then divide them.

Scale the numbers to become whole. Then modulus the result.
alert((5.30*10) % (0.1*10));

Now that you have read the article i commented, you should know the root of your problem.
You can partially work around that by scaling you floats...
Then just write a function which:
If its a float
Scale the Numbers
return a boolean representation of the divisibility of the number
function isDivisable(n, d) {
var ndI = 1 + "".indexOf.call(n, "."); //Index of the Number's Dot
var ddI = 1 + "".indexOf.call(d, "."); // Index of the Divisors Dot
if (ndI || ddI) { // IF its a float
var l = Math.max(("" + n).length - ndI, ("" + d).length - ddI); //Longest Decimal Part
var tmpN = (n * Math.pow(10, l)); //scale the float
var tmpD = (d * Math.pow(10, l));
return !~((tmpN % tmpD) - 1); //Substract one of the modulo result, apply a bitwise NOT and cast a boolean.
}
return !~((n % d) - 1); // If it isnt a decimal, return the result
}
console.log(isDivisable(5.30, 0.1));//true
Heres a JSBin
However...
As Integers are stored with 64bit precision, the maximum precision lies about (2^53),
and you will soon exceed the maximum precision when scaling larger numbers.
So it might be a good idea to get some sort of BigInteger Library for javascript
if you want to test floats for divisibility

To find if a number x is divisible by a number y you have to do x % y (modulo). If the result is 0, it is perfectly divisible, any other isn't.

You can get it by following:
var num = (5.30/0.1);
alert(num.toFixed(2));
this will give you 53.00.

using the digits of a number as an array

var number = 342345820139586830203845861938475676
var output = []
var sum = 0;
while (number) {
output.push(number % 10);
number = Math.floor(number/10);
}
output = output.reverse();
function addTerms () {
for (i = 0; i < output.length; i=i+2) {
var term = Math.pow(output[i], output[i+1]);
sum += term;
}
return sum;
}
document.write(output);
document.write("<br>");
document.write(addTerms());
I am trying to take that large number and split it into its digits. Then, find the sum of the the first digit raised to the power of the 2nd, 3rd digit raiseed to the 4th, 5th raised to the 6th and so on. for some reason, my array is returning weird digits, causing my sum to be off. the correct answer is 2517052. Thanks

You're running into precision issues within JavaScript. Just evaluate the current value of number before you start doing anything, and the results may surprise you:
>>> var number = 342345820139586830203845861938475676; number;
3.423458201395868e+35
See also: What is JavaScript's highest integer value that a Number can go to without losing precision?
To resolve your issue, I'd store your input number as an array (or maybe even a string), then pull the digits off of that.
This will solve your calculation with the expected result of 2517052:
var number = "342345820139586830203845861938475676";
var sum = 0;
for(var i=0; i<number.length; i=i+2){
sum += Math.pow(number.charAt(i), number.charAt(i+1));
}
sum;

JavaScript stores numbers in floating point format (commonly double). double can store precisely only 15 digits.
You can use string to store this large number.

As mentioned, this is a problem with numeric precision. It applies to all programming languages that use native numeric formats. Your problem works fine if you use a string instead
var number = '342345820139586830203845861938475676'
var digits = number.split('')
var total = 0
while (digits.length > 1) {
var [n, power] = digits.splice(0, 2)
total += Math.pow(n, power)
}
(the result is 2517052, byt the way!)

Cast the number as a string and then iterate through it doing your math.
var number = "342345820139586830203845861938475676";//number definition
var X = 0;//some iterator
var numberAtX = 0 + number.charAt(X);//number access

The greatest integer supported by Javascript is 9007199254740992. So that only your output is weird.
For Reference go through the link http://ecma262-5.com/ELS5_HTML.htm#Section_8.5

[edit] adjusted the answer based on Borodins comment.
Mmm, I think the result should be 2517052. I'd say this does the same:
var numbers = '342345820139586830203845861938475676'.split('')
,num = numbers.splice(0,2)
,result = Math.pow(num[0],num[1]);
while ( (num = numbers.splice(0,2)) && num.length ){
result += Math.pow(num[0],num[1]);
}
console.log(result); //=> 2517052

The array methods map and reduce are supported in modern browsers,
and could be worth defining in older browsers. This is a good opportunity,
if you haven't used them before.
If you are going to make an array of a string anyway,
match pairs of digits instead of splitting to single digits.
This example takes numbers or strings.
function sumPower(s){
return String(s).match(/\d{2}/g).map(function(itm){
return Math.pow(itm.charAt(0), itm.charAt(1));
}).reduce(function(a, b){
return a+b;
});
}
sumPower('342345820139586830203845861938475676');
alert(sumPower(s))
/*
returned value:(Number)
2517052
*/
