Is there any way to maintain an integer with .00 in javascript?

Question

I have an input field which accepts only integer. And I want to maintain the integer always with two decimal points like 10.00 or 4.00 .

I have already tried toFixed() and toPrecise() already both converts the integer to string.

var anum = 134;

console.log(
  anum.toFixed(2), //"134.00"
  typeof(anum.toFixed(2)) //"string"
)

I want to maintain it as integer only and not string

why does it need to be maintained that way? If it is just formatting why don't you just format it when it is needed? — depperm, Jul 30 '19 at 13:46
You may want to consider how `134` is different from `134.00`; if it's only adding two zeroes at the end, then how would you want to represent that apart from via a string? — OliverRadini, Jul 30 '19 at 13:47

Numbers, both in JavaScript and in the abstract, don't have a fixed number of decimal places. (Some kinds of computer numbers do, like Java's BigDecimal, but not the ones in JavaScript.) When you convert the input string to a number, the concept of the number of decimal places that were on the string disappears. If you want to remember that so you can use it when converting back to string, you'll need to store that information (from the input string) separately.
