Metric Imperial Converter - Rounding Issue

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m having an issue with outputting the number and including the 5th digit. It seems during my conversions using parseFloat and toFixed, there is a rounding that is occuring to the 4th decimal place and I cannot get it to output as a number with the 5th digit. I cannot figure out where this rounding is coming from and when it rounds it sets the last digit to 0 and then will not print the final digit.

###Errors:

  • Error: expected 2.6417 to equal 2.64172
  • Error: expected 22.0462 to equal 22.04624
  • Error: expected 0.61214 to equal 0.62137

This issue is resolved. My problem was caused by not Dividing against the conversion rate. All of my conversions were multiplications and it retrieved slightly different answers than using a division equation in terms of rounding to get it to pass the tests.
