How to compare decimal numbers with JavaScript?

To compare decimal numbers with JavaScript, we can round both numbers and then compare them.

For instance, we write:

const a = 99.99
const b = 101.99
console.log((Math.round(a * 100) > Math.round(b * 100)))

to multiply a and b by 100 and call Math.round with the returned number to get rid of the decimals.

Then we use > to compare them.

Since a is smaller than b, the console log should log false.

Conclusion

To compare decimal numbers with JavaScript, we can round both numbers and then compare them.
