Round float by `n` decimal places in Javascript
If you need to round floats by n decimal places i.e. rounding 3.1415926 to 4 decimal places = 3.1416, try this function:
Math.roundBy = function (decimalPlaces, n) {
var scale = Math.pow(10, decimalPlaces);
return Math.round(scale * n) / scale;
};
Math.roundBy(4, Math.PI); // 3.1416
Note the decimal place argument is first. This makes the function curry-friendly:
roundBy2 = Math.round.curry(2);
roundBy2(someNum);
