- value: It is an optional parameter and it represents the value specifying the number of digits after the decimal point.
Return Value: The toExponential() method in JavaScript returns a string representing the given number in exponential notation with one digit before the decimal point.
Below is an example of the Number toExponential() Method:
Example 1:
Javascript
let num = 212.13456;
console.log(num.toExponential(4));
|
Output:
Output :2.1213e+2
Example 2: Passing a number as an argument in the toExponential() method. If a number is passed as an argument to the toExponential() method then it represents the number of digits after the decimal point.
Javascript
let num = 2.13456;
console.log(num.toExponential(2));
|
Output:
2.13e+0
Example 3: Passing no parameter in the toExponential() method. The below program illustrates this.
Javascript
let num = 2.13456;
console.log(num.toExponential());
|
Output:
2.13456e+0
Example 4: Passing a value that has more than 1 digit before the decimal point in the toExponential() method. The below program illustrates this:.
Javascript
let num=212.13456;
console.log(num.toExponential());
|
Output:
2.1213456e+2
Example 5: Passing zero as a parameter in the toExponential() method. The below program illustrates this.
Javascript
let num = 212.13456;
console.log(num.toExponential(0));
|
Output:
Output :2e+2
Exceptions:
- Range Error: This exception is thrown when the value parameter passed is too small or too large. Values between 0 and 20, inclusive, will not cause a RangeError. If you want to pass larger or smaller values than specified by this range then you have to accordingly implement the toExponential() method.
- Type Error: This exception is thrown when the toFixed() method is invoked on an object that is not of type number.
