The Purpose

How to handle numerical strings in JavaScript Code steps.

  • parseInt() returns the first integer (w/ decimals)
  • parseFloat() returns the first number (w/o decimals)

 

How to Configure

NOTE: Input Data are all treated as strings.

 

Copy the Code

let Amount = inputData.Amount;

let AmountFloat = parseFloat(Amount); // returns a number
let AmountInt = parseInt(Amount); // returns an integer

output = [{Amount, AmountFloat, AmountInt}];

 

The Results
