Description
- Description:
- Converts a number into a string, keeping the specified number of decimals. If the desired number of decimals is higher than the actual number, nulls are added to create the desired decimal length. This command is almost identical in behaviour to JavaScript toFixed()
The alternative syntax acts as keyword and switches engine's Number to String global conversion into desired format, from the moment it is applied until the end of script.
To reset output back to default at any time, use toFixed -1 - see Example 5.
