paramValue + 'e' + paramDecimalsbattk
12/12/2019, 6:41 PMits converted to a string

12/12/2019, 6:42 PM9.269169061970037e-7 + 'e' + 2 === "9.269169061970037e-7e2"

12/12/2019, 6:45 PMthe output of your function should be NaN at the end for numbers that have scientific notation in their string representations
battk
12/12/2019, 6:47 PMhopefully thats your output instead of null. null isnt a normal output of the Number constructor
