Exponential format in JavaScript

How to convert a number into an exponential notation in JavaScript?

Exponential

Exponential is an mathematical function and refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. For example 2 to the power of 4, mathematically that can be written as 2⁴. That means 2 is multiplies by itself 4 times.

2⁴ = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 =16.

the exponential is in the form of

f(b) = a^b

NOTE: The value of e=10, where e⁺⁰is nothing but the 10 power 0, the value of e⁺⁰ is 1.

In JavaScript, by using toExponential() method we can convert a number into an exponential notation.

Converting number 2.74562 to exponential notaion.

<p>Click the below button to convert a number into an exponential notation.</p>
<input type="button" value="Convert" onclick="Function()" />
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function Function() {
        var A = 2.74562;
        var R = A.toExponential();
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = R;
    }
</script>

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a Function() in the<script>block which is connected to the Onclick of the HTML button. We need to convert a number into an exponential(scientific) notation, for that we are using toExponential() method. Onclick of the button "Convert" fires the Function() in the <script> block at the same time toExponential() method convert a number into an exponential notation and gives the output.

Converting only 2 (After decimal point) digits into exponential in JavaScript

<p>Click the below button to convert 2 numbers into an exponential notation.</p>
<input type="button" value="Convert" onclick="Function()" />
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function Function() {
        var A = 2.74562;
        var R = A.toExponential(2);
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = R;
    }
</script>

Converting only 2 digit decimal number to exponential notation

We need convert the decimal number to two digit exponential decimal number, for that we are using toExponential(2) method. Onclick of the button "Convert" in the HTML code fires the Function() in the <script> block at the same time toExponential() method convert the deimal into exponential form and return the output.

OUTPUT

Converting 2.74562 to approximate nearer single digit exponential value

<p>Click the below button to convert decimal into approximate exponential notation.</p>
<input type="button" value="Convert" onclick="Function()" />
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function Function() {
        var A = 2.74562;
        var R = A.toExponential(0);
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = R;
    }
</script>

Converting to approximate exponential value

We need to convert the decimal value to approximate nearer single digit exponential form number, for that we are using toExponential(0). Onclick of the button gives the approximate exponential form single digit number.
