Currency Math in JavaScript
- by Jared
Can someone please help me out with a JavaScript/jQuery solution for this arithmetic problem:
I need to subtract one number from the other.
The problem is that the numbers have a dollar sign (because its money), therefore jQuery is treating them as strings instead of numbers.
I have created two variables - toalAssets and totalLiabilites. I would like to subtract the latter from the former and place the result into another variable called netWorth.
Perhaps i need to use parseFloat()?
But I'm not sure how - This is all a little over my head!
