Hey Guys

I found a neat trick to convert a string to an integer/decimal (with fixed values after decimal) using JavaScript.

Let's take a string containing a whole number.

     let numberAsString = "234";
     numberAsString = +numberAsString;
     console.log(numberAsString, typeof(numberAsString));

Output

Let's take a string containing a number as a float.

     let numberAsString = "234.2323";
     numberAsString = +numberAsString;
     console.log(numberAsString, typeof(numberAsString));

Output

Using + before the string returns the numeric presentation of the variable, in our case it will convert the values to int/float depending on what is passed in the string.

Using this, we can dynamically convert the string containing numeric values.
