How do I get the decimal places of a floating poin

问题:

What I would like to have is the almost opposite of Number.prototype.toPrecision(), meaning that when i have number, how many decimals does it have? E.g.

(12.3456).getDecimals() // 4

回答1:

For anyone wondering how to do this faster (without converting to string), here's a solution:

function precision(a) {
  var e = 1;
  while (Math.round(a * e) / e !== a) e *= 10;
  return Math.log(e) / Math.LN10;
}

Edit: a more complete solution with edge cases covered:

function precision(a) {
  if (!isFinite(a)) return 0;
  var e = 1, p = 0;
  while (Math.round(a * e) / e !== a) { e *= 10; p++; }
  return p;
}

One possible solution (depends on the application):

var precision = (12.3456 + "").split(".")[1].length;

回答3:

If by "precision" you mean "decimal places", then that's impossible because floats are binary. They don't have decimal places, and most values that have a small number of decimal places have recurring digits in binary, and when they're translated back to decimal that doesn't necessarily yield the original decimal number.

Any code that works with the "decimal places" of a float is liable to produce unexpected results on some numbers.

There is no native function to determine the number of decimals. What you can do is convert the number to string and then count the offset off the decimal delimiter .:

Number.prototype.getPrecision = function() {
    var s = this + "",
        d = s.indexOf('.') + 1;

    return !d ? 0 : s.length - d;
};

(123).getPrecision() === 0;
(123.0).getPrecision() === 0;
(123.12345).getPrecision() === 5;
(1e3).getPrecision() === 0;
(1e-3).getPrecision() === 3;

But it's in the nature of floats to fool you. 1 may just as well be represented by 0.00000000989 or something. I'm not sure how well the above actually performs in real life applications.

Try the following

function countDecimalPlaces(number) { 
  var str = "" + number;
  var index = str.indexOf('.');
  if (index >= 0) {
    return str.length - index - 1;
  } else {
    return 0;
  }
}

Basing on @blackpla9ue comment and considering numbers exponential format:

function getPrecision (num) {
  var numAsStr = num.toFixed(10); //number can be presented in exponential format, avoid it
  numAsStr = numAsStr.replace(/0+$/g, '');

  var precision = String(numAsStr).replace('.', '').length - num.toFixed().length;
  return precision;  
}

getPrecision(12.3456);         //4
getPrecision(120.30003300000); //6, trailing zeros are truncated
getPrecision(15);              //0
getPrecision(120.000))         //0
getPrecision(0.0000005);       //7
getPrecision(-0.01))           //2

回答7:

Based on @boolean_Type's method of handling exponents, but avoiding the regex:

function getPrecision (value) {
    if (!isFinite(value)) { return 0; }

    const [int, float = ''] = Number(value).toFixed(12).split('.');

    let precision = float.length;
    while (float[precision - 1] === '0' && precision >= 0) precision--;

    return precision;
}

Here are a couple of examples, one that uses a library (BigNumber.js), and another that doesn't use a library. Assume you want to check that a given input number (inputNumber) has an amount of decimal places that is less than or equal to a maximum amount of decimal places (tokenDecimals).

With BigNumber.js

import BigNumber from 'bignumber.js'; // ES6
// const BigNumber = require('bignumber.js').default; // CommonJS

const tokenDecimals = 18;
const inputNumber = 0.000000000000000001;
// Convert to BigNumber
const inputNumberBn = new BigNumber(inputNumber);

// BigNumber.js API Docs: http://mikemcl.github.io/bignumber.js/#dp
console.log(`Invalid?: ${inputNumberBn.dp() > tokenDecimals}`);

Without BigNumber.js

function getPrecision(numberAsString) {
  var n = numberAsString.toString().split('.');
  return n.length > 1
    ? n[1].length
    : 0;
}

const tokenDecimals = 18;
const inputNumber = 0.000000000000000001;

// Conversion of number to string returns scientific conversion
// So obtain the decimal places from the scientific notation value
const inputNumberDecimalPlaces = inputNumber.toString().split('-')[1];

// Use `toFixed` to convert the number to a string without it being
// in scientific notation and with the correct number decimal places
const inputNumberAsString = inputNumber.toFixed(inputNumberDecimalPlaces);

// Check if inputNumber is invalid due to having more decimal places
// than the permitted decimal places of the token
console.log(`Invalid?: ${getPrecision(inputNumberAsString) > tokenDecimals}`);

回答9:

Assuming number is valid.

let number = 0.999; 
let noOfPlaces = number.includes(".") //includes or contains
                        ? number.toString().split(".").pop().length
                        : 0;  

回答10:

Does the following approaches work?

var num = 12.3456
console.log(num - Math.floor(num))

or

console.log(num - parseInt(num))
