---

toExponential()

toExponential(dp?: number, rm?: RoundingMode): string;

Returns a string representing the value of this Big number in exponential notation to a fixed number of decimal places dp.

If the value of this Big number in exponential notation has more digits to the right of the decimal point than is specified by dp, the return value will be rounded to dp decimal places using rounding mode Big.RM.

If the value of this Big number in exponential notation has fewer digits to the right of the decimal point than is specified by dp, the return value will be appended with zeros accordingly.

If dp is omitted, or is null or undefined, the number of digits after the decimal point defaults to the minimum number of digits necessary to represent the value exactly.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
dp?	number	Decimal places, 0 to 1e+6 inclusive
rm?	RoundingMode	Rounding mode: 0 (down), 1 (half-up), 2 (half-even) or 3 (up).

Returns

string

Throws

!toFix! if dp is invalid.

---

toFixed()

toFixed(dp?: number, rm?: RoundingMode): string;

Returns a string representing the value of this Big number in normal notation to a fixed number of decimal places dp.

If the value of this Big number in normal notation has more digits to the right of the decimal point than is specified by dp, the return value will be rounded to dp decimal places using rounding mode Big.RM.

If the value of this Big number in normal notation has fewer fraction digits then is specified by dp, the return value will be appended with zeros accordingly.

Unlike Number.prototype.toFixed, which returns exponential notation if a number is greater or equal to 1021, this method will always return normal notation.

If dp is omitted, or is null or undefined, then the return value is simply the value in normal notation. This is also unlike Number.prototype.toFixed, which returns the value to zero decimal places.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
dp?	number	Decimal places, 0 to 1e+6 inclusive
rm?	RoundingMode	Rounding mode: 0 (down), 1 (half-up), 2 (half-even) or 3 (up).

Returns

string

Throws

!toFix! if dp is invalid.

---

toJSON()

toJSON(): string;

Returns a string representing the value of this Big number.

If this Big number has a positive exponent that is equal to or greater than 21, or a negative exponent equal to or less than -7, then exponential notation is returned.

The point at which toString returns exponential rather than normal notation can be adjusted by changing the value of Big.E_POS and Big.E_NEG. By default, Big numbers correspond to Javascript's number type in this regard.

Returns

string

---

toNumber()

toNumber(): number;

Returns a primitive number representing the value of this Big number.

If Big.strict is true an error will be thrown if toNumber is called on a Big number which cannot be converted to a primitive number without a loss of precision.

Returns

number

Since

6.0

---

toPrecision()

toPrecision(sd?: number, rm?: RoundingMode): string;

Returns a string representing the value of this Big number to the specified number of significant digits sd.

If the value of this Big number has more digits than is specified by sd, the return value will be rounded to sd significant digits using rounding mode Big.RM.

If the value of this Big number has fewer digits than is specified by sd, the return value will be appended with zeros accordingly.

If sd is less than the number of digits necessary to represent the integer part of the value in normal notation, then exponential notation is used.

If sd is omitted, or is null or undefined, then the return value is the same as .toString().

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
sd?	number	Significant digits, 1 to 1e+6 inclusive
rm?	RoundingMode	Rounding mode: 0 (down), 1 (half-up), 2 (half-even) or 3 (up).

Returns

string

Throws

!toPre! if sd is invalid.

---

toString()

toString(): string;

Returns a string representing the value of this Big number.

If this Big number has a positive exponent that is equal to or greater than 21, or a negative exponent equal to or less than -7, then exponential notation is returned.

The point at which toString returns exponential rather than normal notation can be adjusted by changing the value of Big.E_POS and Big.E_NEG. By default, Big numbers correspond to Javascript's number type in this regard.

Returns

string

---

valueOf()

Returns a string representing the value of this Big number.

If this Big number has a positive exponent that is equal to or greater than 21, or a negative exponent equal to or less than -7, then exponential notation is returned.
