Number Parsing
Kendo UI exposes methods which convert the specified string to a Number object by using the culture-specific settings.
Parsing As Whole Numbers
The kendo.parseInt(string, [culture]) method converts a string to a whole number by using the specified culture (current culture by default).
// Assumes that current culture defines decimal separator as "."
kendo.parseInt("12.22"); //12
// Assumes that current culture defines decimal separator as "."
kendo.parseInt("1000 %") //10
// Assumes that current culture defines decimal separator as ",", group separator as "." and currency symbol as "€"
kendo.parseInt("1.212,22 €"); //1212
Parsing As Floating Point Numbers
The kendo.parseFloat(string, [culture]) method converts a string to a number with floating point by using the specified culture (current culture by default).
// Assumes that current culture defines decimal separator as "."
kendo.parseFloat("12.22"); //12.22
// Assumes that current culture defines decimal separator as "."
kendo.parseFloat("10.22 %") //0.1022
// Assumes that current culture defines decimal separator as ",", group separator as "." and currency symbol as "€"
kendo.parseFloat("1.212,22 €"); //1212.22
