*/
NumUtil.pp = function(num, signif) {
    if (typeof(num) !== "number")
        throw 'NumUtil.pp: num is not a number!';
    if (isNaN(num))
        throw 'NumUtil.pp: num is NaN!';
    if (num < 1e-15 || num > 1e15)
        return num;
    var r = Math.log(num)/Math.LN10;
    var dot = Math.floor(r) - (signif-1);
    r = r - Math.floor(r) + (signif-1);
    r = Math.round(Math.exp(r * Math.LN10)).toString();
    if (dot >= 0) {
        for (; dot > 0; dot -= 1)
            r += "0";
        return r;
    } else if (-dot >= r.length) {
        var p = "0.";
        for (; -dot > r.length; dot += 1) {
            p += "0";
        }
        return p+r;
    } else {
        return r.substring(0, r.length + dot) + "." + r.substring(r.length + dot);
    }
}

/** Append leading zeros up to 2 digits. */
NumUtil.align2 = function(v) {
    if (v < 10)
        return "0"+v;
    return ""+v;
}
/** Append leading zeros up to 3 digits. */
NumUtil.align3 = function(v) {
    if (v < 10)
        return "00"+v;
    else if (v < 100)
        return "0"+v;
    return ""+v;
}

NumUtil.integer = {};

/** Round to integer and group by 3 digits. */

    if (isNaN(num))
        throw 'NumUtil.integer.pp: num is NaN!';
    if (num > 1e15)
        return num;
    if (num < 0)
        throw 'Negative num!';
    num = Math.round(num);
    var group = num % 1000;
    var integ = Math.floor(num / 1000);
    if (integ === 0) {
        return group;
    }
    num = NumUtil.align3(group);
    while (true) {
        group = integ % 1000;
        integ = Math.floor(integ / 1000);
        if (integ === 0)
            return group + " " + num;
        num = NumUtil.align3(group) + " " + num;
    }
    return num;
}

NumUtil.currency = {};

/** Round to coins and group by 3 digits. */
NumUtil.currency.pp = function(amount) {
    if (typeof(amount) !== "number")
        throw 'NumUtil.currency.pp: amount is not a number!';
    if (isNaN(amount))
        throw 'NumUtil.currency.pp: amount is NaN!';
    if (amount > 1e15)
        return amount;
    if (amount < 0)
        throw 'Negative amount!';
    if (amount < 1e-2)
        return 0;
    var v = Math.round(amount*100);
    var integ = Math.floor(v / 100);
    var frac = NumUtil.align2(v % 100);
    var group = integ % 1000;
    integ = Math.floor(integ / 1000);
    if (integ === 0) {
        return group + "." + frac;
    }
    amount = NumUtil.align3(group);
    while (true) {
        group = integ % 1000;
        integ = Math.floor(integ / 1000);
        if (integ === 0)
            return group + " " + amount + "." + frac;
        amount = NumUtil.align3(group) + " " + amount;
    }
    return amount;
}

这里有一个普通JavaScript的简单格式化程序：

function numberFormatter (num) {
    console.log(num)
    var wholeAndDecimal = String(num.toFixed(2)).split(".");
    console.log(wholeAndDecimal)
    var reversedWholeNumber = Array.from(wholeAndDecimal[0]).reverse();
    var formattedOutput = [];

    reversedWholeNumber.forEach( (digit, index) => {
        formattedOutput.push(digit);
        if ((index + 1) % 3 === 0 && index < reversedWholeNumber.length - 1) {
            formattedOutput.push(",");
        }
    })

    formattedOutput = formattedOutput.reverse().join('') + "." + wholeAndDecimal[1];

    return formattedOutput;
}

下面是Patrick Desjardins（别名Daok）代码，添加了一些注释和一些小改动：

/*
decimal_sep: character used as decimal separator, it defaults to '.' when omitted
thousands_sep: char used as thousands separator, it defaults to ',' when omitted
*/
Number.prototype.toMoney = function(decimals, decimal_sep, thousands_sep)
{
   var n = this,
   c = isNaN(decimals) ? 2 : Math.abs(decimals), // If decimal is zero we must take it. It means the user does not want to show any decimal
   d = decimal_sep || '.', // If no decimal separator is passed, we use the dot as default decimal separator (we MUST use a decimal separator)

   /*
   According to [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/411352/how-best-to-determine-if-an-argument-is-not-sent-to-the-javascript-function]
   the fastest way to check for not defined parameter is to use typeof value === 'undefined'
   rather than doing value === undefined.
   */
   t = (typeof thousands_sep === 'undefined') ? ',' : thousands_sep, // If you don't want to use a thousands separator you can pass empty string as thousands_sep value

   sign = (n < 0) ? '-' : '',

   // Extracting the absolute value of the integer part of the number and converting to string
   i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(n).toFixed(c)) + '',

   j = ((j = i.length) > 3) ? j % 3 : 0;
   return sign + (j ? i.substr(0, j) + t : '') + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + t) + (c ? d + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) : '');
}

这里有一些测试：

// Some tests (do not forget parenthesis when using negative numbers and number with no decimals)
alert(123456789.67392.toMoney() + '\n' + 123456789.67392.toMoney(3) + '\n' + 123456789.67392.toMoney(0) + '\n' + (123456).toMoney() + '\n' + (123456).toMoney(0) + '\n' + 89.67392.toMoney() + '\n' + (89).toMoney());

// Some tests (do not forget parenthesis when using negative numbers and number with no decimals)
alert((-123456789.67392).toMoney() + '\n' + (-123456789.67392).toMoney(-3));

次要变化包括：

移动了一点Math.abs（小数），只有当不是NaN时才能执行。decimal_sep不能再是空字符串（必须使用某种十进制分隔符）我们使用typeof thousand_sep===“undefined”，如How best to determine if a argument is not send to JavaScript function中所建议的不需要（+n||0），因为这是Number对象
