less than 10 add 0 to number [duplicate]
You can always do
('0' + deg).slice(-2)
See slice()
:
You can also use negative numbers to select from the end of an array
Hence
('0' + 11).slice(-2) // '11'
('0' + 4).slice(-2) // '04'
For ease of access, you could of course extract it to a function, or even extend Number
with it:
Number.prototype.pad = function(n) {
return new Array(n).join('0').slice((n || 2) * -1) + this;
}
Which will allow you to write:
c += deg.pad() + '° '; // "04° "
The above function pad
accepts an argument specifying the length of the desired string. If no such argument is used, it defaults to 2. You could write:
deg.pad(4) // "0045"
Note the obvious drawback that the value of n
cannot be higher than 11, as the string of 0's is currently just 10 characters long. This could of course be given a technical solution, but I did not want to introduce complexity in such a simple function. (Should you elect to, see alex's answer for an excellent approach to that).
Note also that you would not be able to write 2.pad()
. It only works with variables. But then, if it's not a variable, you'll always know beforehand how many digits the number consists of.
Make a function that you can reuse:
function minTwoDigits(n) {
return (n < 10 ? '0' : '') + n;
}
Then use it in each part of the coordinates:
c += minTwoDigits(deg) + "° ";
and so on.
if(myNumber.toString().length < 2)
myNumber= "0"+myNumber;
or:
return (myNumber.toString().length < 2) ? "0"+myNumber : myNumber;
You can always do
('0' + deg).slice(-2)
If you use it very often, you may extend the object Number
Number.prototype.pad = function(n) {
if (n==undefined)
n = 2;
return (new Array(n).join('0') + this).slice(-n);
}
deg.pad(4) // "0045"
where you can set any pad size or leave the default 2.
You can write a generic function to do this...
var numberFormat = function(number, width) {
return new Array(+width + 1 - (number + '').length).join('0') + number;
}
jsFiddle.
That way, it's not a problem to deal with any arbitrarily width.
