Hello, I am trying to compare 2 dates and I keep on getting false for my if statement. What do I need to do to fix it? My code is parseFloat(responseDate.getTime()) - parseFloat(ratiodate.getTime())) > 0

Log them individually and see what they are

you also shouldn't need to

parseFloat

since the output of those calls should be numbers already

I get a null when subtracting the 2:

Assuming they are are both actually dates and getTime() is not the problem... they are already numbers, stop parsing them as shawn suggested

you probably need to share your actual code to get more detailed help

I figured it out. is there a way to prevent this variable to drop the decimal after the 5?

I think calling

getTime()

should return an integer, assuming ratiodate is actually a date object.

got it. thank you.
