JavaScript: Divide two positive numbers and return a string with properly formatted commas

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-56 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to divide two positive numbers and return the result as string with properly formatted commas.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Function to divide two numbers and format the result with commas
function division_string_format(number1, number2) {
    // Check if the divisor is zero
    if (number2 === 0) {
        return "Cannot divide by zero";
    }
    // Perform division
    let result = number1 / number2;
    // Format result with commas
    let formattedResult = result.toLocaleString(undefined, {maximumFractionDigits: 2});
    // Return the formatted result
    return formattedResult;
}
// Example usage:
// Define the dividend and divisor
let dividend = 1000000;
let divisor = 107;
// Perform division and format the result
let result = division_string_format(dividend, divisor);
// Print the result
console.log("Result: " + result);

Output:

Result: 9,345.79

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

• The "division_string_format()" function takes two parameters, 'number1' and 'number2', representing the dividend and divisor respectively.
• It checks if the divisor is zero and returns an error message if so.
• It then performs division and stores the result in the 'result' variable.
• The "toLocaleString()" method formats the result with commas.
• The formatted result is returned as a string.
