Javascript indexOf() method

Using the indexOf() method to get the decimal part of the given number, in which we convert our number into a string and then get the index of the decimal point with the help of the indexOf() method. and then extract the part of the decimal string as a substring.

Syntax:

number.toString().indexOf(".")

Example:  In this example first we convert to the string and then get the index of the decimal point and store it in a new variable, and again convert the number into a string and get the decimal part using the substring() method.

Javascript
let number = 20.125;
let decimalValue = number.toString().indexOf(".");
let result = number.toString().substring(decimalValue+1);
//orignal number
console.log(number)
//Decimal part of Number
console.log(result);

Output
20.125
125
