I have a function I've been playing around with to try and display certain larger cardinal numbers with a text suffix. However I would like to expand upon it so that I can call toFixed to omit all decimals (toFixed(0)). I have tried all possible combinations and on the variable itself but I can't seem to get it to work...
The function I have that I want no decimals to display is:
function cardinalNumbers(numericalValue) {
// Twenty Four Zeroes For Septillions.
return Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+24
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+24 + "S"
// Twnty One Zeroes For Sextillions.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+21
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+21 + "s"
// Eighteen Zeroes For Quintillions.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+18
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+18 + "Q"
// Fifteen Zeroes For Quadrillion.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+15
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+15 + "q"
// Twelve Zeroes For Trillions.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+12
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+12 + "T"
// Nine Zeroes For Billions.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+9
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+9 + "B"
// Six Zeroes For Millions.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+6
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+6 + "M"
// Three Zeroes For Thousands.
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) >= 1.0e+3
? Math.abs(Number(numericalValue)) / 1.0e+3 + "K"
: Math.abs(Number(numericalValue));
}
An example would be 227155515434853440 formats as 227q.
You would have to call .toFixed(0)
at every point where a value is being returned and maybe a variable like Bartek suggested:
function cardinalNumbers(numericalValue) {
var x = Math.abs(Number(numericalValue));
// Twenty Four Zeroes For Septillions.
return x >= 1.0e+24
? (x / 1.0e+24).toFixed(0) + "S"
// Twnty One Zeroes For Sextillions.
: x >= 1.0e+21
? (x / 1.0e+21).toFixed(0) + "s"
// Eighteen Zeroes For Quintillions.
: x >= 1.0e+18
? (x / 1.0e+18).toFixed(0) + "Q"
// Fifteen Zeroes For Quadrillion.
: x >= 1.0e+15
? (x / 1.0e+15).toFixed(0) + "q"
// Twelve Zeroes For Trillions.
: x >= 1.0e+12
? (x / 1.0e+12).toFixed(0) + "T"
// Nine Zeroes For Billions.
: x >= 1.0e+9
? (x / 1.0e+9).toFixed(0) + "B"
// Six Zeroes For Millions.
: x >= 1.0e+6
? (x / 1.0e+6).toFixed(0) + "M"
// Three Zeroes For Thousands.
: x >= 1.0e+3
? (x / 1.0e+3).toFixed(0) + "K"
: x.toFixed(0);
}
Or if you can use an array and want to use the same construct, you could use .toFixed(0)
once. But I don't like using ternary operators for that much branching, so I would rather use if-elseif-else blocks:
function cardinalNumbers(numericalValue) {
var result = [];
var x = Math.abs(Number(numericalValue));
if (x >= 1.0e+24) {
// Twenty Four Zeroes For Septillions.
result = [x / 1.0e+24, "S"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+21) {
// Twenty One Zeroes For Sextillions.
result = [x / 1.0e+21, "s"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+18) {
// Eighteen Zeroes For Quintillions.
result = [x / 1.0e+18, "Q"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+15) {
// Fifteen Zeroes For Quadrillion.
result = [x / 1.0e+15, "q"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+12) {
// Twelve Zeroes For Trillions.
result = [x / 1.0e+12, "T"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+9) {
// Nine Zeroes For Billions.
result = [x / 1.0e+9, "B"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+6) {
// Six Zeroes For Millions.
result = [x / 1.0e+6, "M"];
} else if (x >= 1.0e+3) {
// Three Zeroes For Thousands.
result = [x / 1.0e+3, "K"];
} else {
result = [x, ""];
}
return result[0].toFixed(0) + result[1];
}
