Below examples illustrate the working of toPrecision() function in TypeScript:
Example 1:

Output:
6.218956 6.2189 6.21
Example 2:
<script> // toPrecision() method let myNumber: number = 32.5779; console.log( "Number Method: toPrecision()" ); console.log(myNumber.toPrecision(1)); console.log(myNumber.toPrecision(3)); </script> |
Output:
Number Method: toPrecision() 3e+1 32.6
