toFixed bug? More decimals than wanted
Dear forum,
This simple expression in an empty text layer does not always delivers as expected:
posterizeTime(5);
x = random()+2;
y = x.toFixed(4);
z = 24+y*8;
z;
Sometimes the result looks like this. Restarting or cleaning database and cache did not help.
Ae version is 24.6.4. Is this a known bug?Best regards
Axel

toFixed() converts your numeric result to a string. Then your next operation has to convert it back to a number. You’d have a more predictable result if you only use toFixed() on the final step, like this maybe:
posterizeTime(5);
x = random()+2;
y = x;
z = (24+y*8).toFixed(4); -
Thank you very much, Dan! That solves it.
Best to you
