I have a text input for a money field.
I enter 33.91 into the field, and get the following results while trying to use the 'multiply by 100' technique.
var curWth = parseInt($('#trans_withdraw'+index).val()*100); // 3390
var curWth = parseInt($('#trans_withdraw'+index).val())*100; // 3300
var curWth = $('#trans_withdraw'+index).val()*100; // 3390.9999999...5
var curWth = parseFloat($('#trans_withdraw'+index).val())*100; // 3390.9999999...5
var curWth = parseFloat($('#trans_withdraw'+index).val()*100); // 3390.9999999...5
None of these give me 3391. I thought the whole idea of multiplying by 100 was to get away from the floating point problem. But as line 3 shows, when I multiply the value by 100 immediately, I still get floating point errors.
What am I still not understanding about working with currency?
I know 0.1 can't be stored correctly as a float. But multiplying by 100 is also not working for me in this case.
