toStringAsPrecision abstract method

String toStringAsPrecision(
  1. int precision
)

A string representation with precision significant digits.

Converts this number to a double and returns a string representation of that value with exactly precision significant digits.

The parameter precision must be an integer satisfying: 1 <= precision <= 21.

Examples:

1.toStringAsPrecision(2);       // 1.0
1e15.toStringAsPrecision(3);    // 1.00e+15
1234567.toStringAsPrecision(3); // 1.23e+6
1234567.toStringAsPrecision(9); // 1234567.00
12345678901234567890.toStringAsPrecision(20); // 12345678901234567168
12345678901234567890.toStringAsPrecision(14); // 1.2345678901235e+19
0.00000012345.toStringAsPrecision(15); // 1.23450000000000e-7
0.0000012345.toStringAsPrecision(15);  // 0.00000123450000000000
