convert comma separated decimal places to number in javascript

If you have a comma separated string of decimal places, you can convert it to a number using the parseFloat() function in JavaScript. You will need to replace the commas with decimal points before converting the string to a number.

Here's an example of how to convert a comma separated string of decimal places ("1,234.56") to a number (1234.56) in JavaScript:

index.tsx
const commaSeparatedString = "1,234.56";
const stringWithDecimalPoint = commaSeparatedString.replace(",", ".");
const number = parseFloat(stringWithDecimalPoint);

console.log(number.toFixed(2)); // Output: 1234.56
215 chars
6 lines

In this example, we first declare a variable commaSeparatedString that holds the comma separated string "1,234.56".

We then use the replace() method to replace the comma with a decimal point. This returns a new string "1.234.56".

Next, we use the parseFloat() function to convert the string to a number. This returns the number 1234.56.

Finally, we use the toFixed() method to format the number to two decimal places. This returns the string "1234.56".
