round a number to the nearest thousandth in javascript

In javascript, you can round a number to the nearest thousandth by using the toFixed() method on a number and passing in the precision you want. The precision specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

Here's an example:

index.tsx
let num = 123.456789;
let roundedNum = num.toFixed(3); 

console.log(roundedNum); // Output: 123.457
101 chars
5 lines

In the example above, the toFixed() method takes in the number 3, which specifies that we want to round the number num to the nearest thousandth. The resulting roundedNum will have a precision of 3 decimal places.

Note that the toFixed() method returns a string, so if you need to perform further mathematical operations on the rounded number, you may need to convert it back to a number using parseFloat() or Number().
