Javascript: Comparing two float values
The Math.fround() function returns the nearest 32-bit single precision float representation of a Number.
And therefore is one of the best choices to compare 2 floats.
if (Math.fround(1.5) < Math.fround(1.6)) {
console.log('yes')
} else {
console.log('no')
}
>>> yes
// More examples:
console.log(Math.fround(0.9) < Math.fround(1)); >>> true
console.log(Math.fround(1.5) < Math.fround(1.6)); >>> true
console.log(Math.fround(0.005) < Math.fround(0.00006)); >>> false
console.log(Math.fround(0.00000000009) < Math.fround(0.0000000000000009)); >>> false
Compare float numbers with precision:
var precision = 0.001;
if (Math.abs(n1 - n2) <= precision) {
// equal
}
else {
// not equal
}
UPD: Or, if one of the numbers is precise, compare precision with the relative error
var absoluteError = (Math.abs(nApprox - nExact)),
relativeError = absoluteError / nExact;
return (relativeError <= precision);
toFixed returns a string, and you are comparing the two resulting strings. Lexically, the 1 in 12 comes before the 7 so 12 < 7.
I guess you want to compare something like:
(Math.round(parseFloat(acVal)*100)/100)
which rounds to two decimals
