I am printing Simple Interest and taking a string with space separated values such as

"1500 1.4 3"

.

I want my result in typeOf Number preceded with 6 Decimal places.
such as

63.000000

I have written a code for this in JavaScript.

JavaScript

<pre>const solve = (input) => {
	// Write your code here
	input=input.split(" ").map((x)=>parseFloat(x));
	let result=((input[0]* input[1]* input[2])/100).toFixed(6);
	console.log(result);
}

solve("1500 1.4 3")

What I have tried:

toFixed is working as expected but when I need to print result in NUMBER format not in string. 

and when I am using <pre lang="Javascript">parseFloat(), Number()

It removes all the extra 0s but I need them.

Numbers don't have "trailing zeros" - they aren't even stored as decimal values but in binary instead to the whole concept of "6 decimal places" doesn't actually work! You cannot "force" a number to have a certain number of decimal places except when you convert it to a string using the JavaScript toFixed() Method[^] as you have seen.

Basically, when you want to print a number - any number - it gets converted to a string, and that's when you specify how many decimal places it should have.
