Format numbers in javascript
I have a function that counts up, and I want to convert the number to a string and then add some commas and a decimal point. The problem is that I have no idea how to convert my number into a string and that add the necessary functionality within the given script that I have.
EDITTED: I'm not, by any means, a javascript programmer. Here's the code I'm working with, also here: http://jsfiddle.net/blackessej/TT8BH/6/
function createCounter(elementId,start,end,totalTime,callback)
{
var jTarget=jQuery("#"+elementId);
var interval=totalTime/(end-start);
var intervalId;
var current=start;
var str = "" + start;
var f=function(){
jTarget.text(current);
if(current==end)
{
clearInterval(intervalId);
if(callback)
{
callback();
}
}
++current;
}
intervalId=setInterval(f,interval);
f();
}
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
createCounter("counter",12714086,9999999999,10000000000000,function(){
alert("finished")
})
})
function addCommas(str) {
var amount = new String(str);
amount = amount.split("").reverse();
var output = "";
for ( var i = 0; i <= amount.length-1; i++ ){
output = amount[i] + output;
if ((i+1) % 3 == 0 && (amount.length-1) !== i)output = ',' + output;
}
return output;
}
