parseInt() JavaScript built-in function:

this function is used to convert a string (string of digits such as “145”) to an integer. This JavaScript built-in function is take a string as an argument and returns an integer value. if the string does not begin with an integer, this function returns NaN( not a number).

The parseInt() JavaScript built-in function is also used to convert the floating-point number into integer. It takes a floating-point number as an argument and returns an integral part of the number. For example, parseInt(23.43) will return 23.

The general syntax of parseInt() JavaScript built-in function is,

parseInt(String);

where “string” represent the string of digits.

Examples:

  • parseInt(“12bx345”) returns 12.
  • parseInt(“abcd”)returns NaN( not a number)
  • parseInt(“7FAB67”) returns 7.
  • parseInt(“ABC793xyz”) returns NaN.
  • parseInt(12.5487) returns 12.


Write JavaScript code to demonstrate the use of parseInt JavaScript built-in function:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a, b, c, d;

a= "12bx345";
b="bx345";
c="345";
d="45.257";
document.write(parseInt(a)+ "<br>");
document.write(parseInt(b)+ "<br>");
document.write(parseInt(c)+ "<br>");
document.write(parseInt(d)+ "<br>");
</script>

</head>

JavaScript built-in function

parseFloat() JavaScript built-in function:

this JavaScript built-in function is used to convert the string (string of digits along with decimal point) into floating point number. This function takes a string as an argument and returns a floating point number. It the string does not begin with an integer, this built-in function returns NaN(not a number).

The general syntax of parseFloat() JavaScript built-in function i is:

parseFloat(string);

Examples:

  • parseFloat(“12.627”) returns 12.627.
  • parseFloat (“abcd 12.34”)returns NaN( not a number)
  • parseFloat (“12FAB67”) returns 12.
  • parseFloat (“12.abc”) returns 12.
  • parseFloat (“12.0abc”) returns 12.

It may be noted that parseFloat() JavaScript built-in function is also first integer number in a string. Similarly, if the number has decimal point at its end or value 0 point then this built-in function also returns integer value.



Write JavaScript code to demonstrate the use of parseFloat JavaScript built-in function:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a, b, c, d;

a= "12.25bx345";
b="bx34.5";
c="45.0hqf";
d="45.abc";
document.write(parseFloat(a)+ "<br>");
document.write(parseFloat(b)+ "<br>");
document.write(parseFloat(c)+ "<br>");
document.write(parseFloat(d)+ "<br>");
</script>

</head>

JavaScript built-in function

toFixed() JavaScript built-in function:

this JavaScript built-in function is used to fix (or limit) the number of digits displayed after a decimal point. The output value is rounded off. For example, to display a value 49.917 with two digits of precision, the value 49.92 will be displayed on the output.

The general syntax of toFixed JavaScript built-in function is;

Value.toFixed(n);

Where

Value specifies the value or variable.

n specifies the number of digits to be fixed after the decimal point.


Write a program to print a floating-point number using toFixed() JavaScript built-in function:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var num = 578.555555;
for(i=6; i>=1; i--)
document.write(num.toFixed(i)+ "<br>");

</script>

</head>

<body>

JavaScript built-in function

String() JavaScript built-in function:

This JavaScript built-in function is used to convert a numeric value into a string.

The general syntax of Stirng() JavaScript built-in function i is;

String(value);

Where ‘value’ may be integer or floating point value

Example:

  • String(420) returns string of digits “420”
  • String (63.323) returns string of digits “63.323”

eval() JavaScript built-in function:

this JavaScript built-in function can be used to convert a string expression to a numeric value. it takes a string expression(such as “10*5”) as parameter, evaluate the expression and returns the result as numeric value.

the general syntax of eval() JavaScript built-in function is;

eval(“string expression”);

example:

  • Eval(“4.12 * 100”) returns 412.
  • Eval(“4.12 * 10”) returns 41.2


Write JavaScript code to demonstrate the use of eval() JavaScript built-in function:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(eval("12+6")+ "<br>");
document.write(eval("12.25/6.14")+ "<br>");
document.write(eval("12.1*6.25")+ "<br>");
document.write(eval("15%6")+ "<br>");

</script>

</head>

<body>
