Numbers in JavaScript
Published by

Several Numeric notations are available in Javascript. Javascript Numbers are always stored as double-precision floating point numbers. In Javascript, there is only one type of numbers and those can be written without decimal and decimal.
The example of numbers with decimals and without decimals is as follows -
let x = 4; let y = 3.22;
The numbers with decimals are known as floating precision and the numbers without decimals are comes under Integer Precision.
Numbers and Strings Addition
Four cases arise when adding number and string and all the cases are as follows -
- If we add two numbers, the result will be a number.
- If we add two strings, the result will be string concatenation.
- If we add a number and a string, the output will be the string concatenation.
- If we add a string and a number, the output will be the string concatenation.
let x = 4; let y = 1; let z = x + y; console.log(z)
//Output: 5
let x = "Hello" let y = "World" let z = x + y; console.log(z);
//Output: HelloWorld
let x = 10; let y = "100"; let z = x + y; console.log(z)
//Output: 10100
let x = "20"; let y = 20; let z = x + y; console.log(z)
//Output: 2020
The examples showing the numeric value and string value is mentioned below -
let x = 10; //Numeric Value let y = "200" // String value
In some cases, Javascript will try to convert strings to numbers. for instance;
let num_1 = "200"; let num_2 = "20"; let result = num_1 / num_2; console.log(result) Output: 10
All the mathematical operations can work on the strings but no addition because when performing addition, the output will be string concatenation.
Javascript - Not a Number (NaN) and Infinity
The Nan is the keyword in javascript that identifies that the input value is not a legal number. for instance -
let number = 100 / "number"; console.log(number); //Output: Nan
The infinity is the value that Javascript will return when the calculation occurs outside the largest possible number. For instance -
let x = 2 / 0; consolel.log(x) //Output: infinity
Javascript Hexadecimal
Javascript represents the numbers with the base 8, by default. However, toString to output numbers from Base 2 to Base 36. for instance;
let num = 32; num.toString(8); num.toString(2);
//Output: 40 100000
Rounding
Rounding is an important concept that is useful when working with numbers. Rounding rounds off a number of certain conditions mentioned below -
- Math.floor - It will return the lower value, 3.3 will become 3.
- Math.ceil - It will return the higher value, 3.3 will become 4.
- Math.round - It will round the number to the nearest integer, 3.3 will become 3, 3.7 will become 4.
- Math.trunc - It will remove every value after decimal from the integer. 1.322 will become 1.
Several Number Methods supported by Javascript are mentioned below -
- toExponential() - It will return the input number to the exponential notation.
- toString() - It will return the input number as a string.
- toPrecision() - It will return the input number with a specified length.
- valueOf() - It will return the input number as a number.
- toFixed() - It will return the input number with the number of decimals.
Javascript Number Properties
Several Number properties supported by the Javascript are mentioned below -
- MAX_VALUE - It demonstrate the largest possible value in Javascript.
- MIN_VALUE - It demonstrate the smallest possible value in Javascript.
- MAX_SAFE_INTEGER - Maximum safe integer is (253 - 1).
- MIN_SAFE_INTEGER - Minimum safe integer is (-253 - 1).
- POSITIVE_INFINITY - Infinity
- NEGATIVE_INFINITY - Negative Infinity.
- EPSILON - It is the difference between the 1 and the smallest number.
