How to convert string with comma to numbers?

I have some coordinates in a custom field:



45.4924038,9.2040718


And I am loading them into a map like this:



var mylatLg = "<?php echo get_post_meta($id, 'usp-custom-90', true); ?>";
var mylatLg = mylatLg.split(',');

console.log(mylatLg[0]);
console.log(mylatLg[1]);

var lat = parseInt(mylatLg[0]);
var lng = parseInt(mylatLg[1]);


The first console.log gives:



45.4924001
9.206260499999985


The second control.log says:



45
9


If I load the markers as per the following below, it gives me a wrong position (as it is 45,9)



  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: {lat: parseInt(mylatLg[0]), lng: parseInt(mylatLg[1])},


If I load the markers as per the following below



 var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: {lat: mylatLg[0], lng: mylatLg[1]},


It gives




InvalidValueError: setPosition: not a LatLng or LatLngLiteral: in
property lat: not a number




How can I run 45.4924038,9.2040718 as I have in the custom field?

    Did you try with parseFloat()?

  • @LloydFrancis I don't want to conver it to an integer, I want to keep the correct coords, maybe stringify?

    So instead of parsing your values as a number, it parses them as floats. That means you can use decimal points. Just asking, do you have to parse them at all? Won't using it without parsing work? ( I am not familiar with the Maps JS API, just a question)

    parseFloat() is same as parseInt(), only for floats. Float is a type of data that supports decimal points.

You need to use parseFloat and not parseInt. This will parse the strings to floats.
Or just try to cast it using Number, e.g. Number('9.206260499999985') will produce the float 9.206260499999985.

Instead try with + unary operator which somewhat works like parseFloat():



var lat = +mylatLg[0];
var lng = +mylatLg[1];





console.log(+"45.4924001");
console.log(+"9.206260499999985");
