Formating data pulled from the url

Question

I currently have a script that pulls a parameter from the url and displays on the page. My problem is that I need to format the decimal place for the value.

UPDATED (This is working now. Thank you all.)

Code

$(document).ready(function () {

var url = $.url('https://www.google.com/blah/blahblah/index.htm?x=50.5200');

var x = url.param('x');

var x2 = parseFloat(x).toFixed(2);

 $("#value").text(x2);

});

Answer 1

Try this:

var decimal = '50.5230';
var num = parseFloat(decimal).toFixed(2);
console.log(num);
