    I don’t have much JavaScript experience, but maybe .toFixed() will help here. Playground (copy the below code to the playground to test): https://playcode.io/javascript

    const number = 0.1 + 0.2
const fixed = number.toFixed(3)

// Update header text
document.querySelector('#header').innerHTML = message

// Log to console
console.log(number)
console.log(fixed)

    outputs:

    0.30000000000000004
0.300
