ViewsSuitescript adds .0 to numbers in array
In Suitescript 2.0 I want to check if an ID does not match with one of the IDs in the array below:
var interfaceStatusArray1 = [14, 15, 17, 20, 25, 26];
In the debugger I see that .0 is added to every value in the array :
Now if my ID is 1 and I do the following check:
interfaceStatusArray1.indexOf(lineItemFieldValues.interfaceStatusID) == -1
then this will always be true, because the numbers have .0 added.
Is there a way to remove the .0? I already tried Math.trunc, but Netsuite gives me this error:
TypeError: Cannot find function trunc in object [object Math].
I also reproduced the code in jsfiddle however in jsfiddle it works, because it gets into false: https://jsfiddle.net/7fnxoz1r/1/
I am quite new to Suitescript 2.0 but it also seems that suitescript 2.0 does not allow array.includes.

Why not set interfaceStatusArray1 as a string array? If needed you can turn them to number back/forward using the primitive classes String(val)/Number(val)

This is not unique to NetSuite but is how JavaScript handles numbers: there are only numbers, not integers and floating point, so all numbers in JS are basically floating point. If you need to consume these as a number, the fact the ".0" is displayed won't matter. Indeed, if you ToString() them, the ".0" won't be in the string.
To use your example:
interfaceStatusArray1.indexOf(lineItemFieldValues.interfaceStatusID) == -1
If lineItemFieldValues.interfaceStatusID is 1.0, JavaScript would say the condition is false (1.0 !== -1.0). If you want to be sure, use "===" instead of "==" and add the ".0" in your condition.
