-1

I am trying to get an output of 4.01 but I am getting 4.013000000000005 instead. The first time I ran the code, I thought the problem was that I didn't have parseFloat but it still doesn't run. This is the code:

var num = 194.092;
var amount = 198.103;
console.log(amount - parseFloat(num.toFixed(2)));

  • try `var finalResult = amount - parseFloat(num); console.log(finalResult.toFixed(2))` – CAMD_3441 Jan 29 '21 at 21:39

  • This will work - console.log((amount - num).toFixed(2)); – ch_g Jan 29 '21 at 21:43

You need to parseFloat the result.

var num =194.092;
var amount = 198.103;
console.log(parseFloat(amount - num).toFixed(2));
