How to parse float with two decimal places in javascript?

If you need performance (like in games):

Math.round(number * 100) / 100

It's about 100 times as fast as parseFloat(number.toFixed(2))

When you use toFixed, it always returns the value as a string. This sometimes complicates the code. To avoid that, you can make an alternative method for Number.

Number.prototype.round = function(p) {
  p = p || 10;
  return parseFloat( this.toFixed(p) );
};

and use:

var n = 22 / 7; // 3.142857142857143
n.round(3); // 3.143

or simply:

(22/7).round(3); // 3.143

You can use toFixed() to do that

var twoPlacedFloat = parseFloat(yourString).toFixed(2)
