For example, printing tenths with a naive simple loop might give you 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.30000000000000004, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6000000000000001, 0.7000000000000001, 0.8, 0.9 - welcome to binary floating point! . Yet rounding error is not the only reason to customize number formatting. A table of numbers should be formatted consistently for comparison; above, 0.0 would be better than 0. Large numbers should have grouped digits (e.g., 42,000) or be in scientific or metric notation (4.2e+4, 42k). Currencies should have fixed precision ($3.50). Reported numerical results should be rounded to significant digits (4021 becomes 4000). Number formats should appropriate to the reader’s locale (42.000,00 or 42,000.00). The list goes on. . Formatting numbers for human consumption is the purpose of d3-format, which is modeled after Python 3’s format specification mini-language (PEP 3101). . This package contains the plain JS library as well as a minified version.
