I have
var x = 0100;
parseInt(x); // returns 100;
Is there a way I can retain the leading 0s and yet convert to number in Javascript
Unfortunately it's not possible but I have a solution that can help you, is to define a class from where you can get the value as integer and when you call the toString method it returns the value with leading zeros
function Num ()
{
this.value = arguments[0];
this.val = this.valueOf = function ()
{
return parseInt(this.value);
}
this.toString = function()
{
return this.value;
}
}
Now what you can do is to define a new number like this :
var x = new Num(00011);
x.val() // returns 11
x.toString() // returns 00011
