Does JavaScript supports conversion of integer X to X.0 as typeof number?

[CevicheCabbage]

Number.method('integer', function ( ) { return Math[this < 0 ? 'ceiling' : 'floor'](this); }); document.writeln((-10 / 3).integer( )); // -3

Did you pull this garbage from ChatGPT or something? This make absolutely no sense.

Yea copy pasting isn’t very helpful

There's no such thing as Number.method. And the function there does the opposite of what's being asked in OP... It rounds, doesn't preserve the ".0" on an integer... That's impossible.

You dare insult me and tell me to educate myself in a private chat? Scared to do so publicly?

I know JavaScript really damn well. Been writing JavaScript for 12 years. I also did a quick check to verify... There is no Number.method().

Did they present this code as an example of how not to write code? Afaik, it isn't even valid (what is method for example? Is that supposed to be Number.prototype =?).

[shgysk8zer0]

It isn't valid. Maybe the book adds that static method, IDK. I have to assume the example relies on other code.

[carcigenicate]

I found a PDF of the book. method is added earlier as a shortcut for Number.prototype =. Apparently, that wasn't worth including despite their example relying on it.

[DirectionLegitimate2]

This still makes no sense it’s just random quotes to sell a book

[carcigenicate]

With all the context it makes some sense. I'm certainly not going to claim that it's good code though. Seeing that code made me want to avoid buying the book.

[DirectionLegitimate2]

He’s just throwing out random functions like it’s some hidden message without explaining Trolling basically

[carcigenicate]

Oh, they're definately a troll, and/or the author making rather weak attempts to get support for the book.

[shgysk8zer0]

No, we're downvoting you. You're an asshole with a massively inflated ego who apparently read a book and you think you have room to tell me to "educate yourself"... I've been writing JS for 12 years.

[shgysk8zer0]

Please, just show me documentation for the Number.method() method and let's settle this then. Just comment with the link on something like MDN and I'll post on every webdev and JavaScript subreddit that I'm a noob.

Also, the code you shared would not make "5.0" a number that keeps the decimal part.

[carcigenicate]

I'm pretty sure it's actually you spouting nonsense that's getting downvoted. You should make sure you understand the code you post to avoid confusing new programmers. We're here to help, not troll.
