var x = 1234567;

x.toString().length;

这个过程也适用于浮点数和指数数。

I'm perplex about converting into a string the given number because such an algorithm won't be robust and will be prone to errors: it will show all its limitations especially in case it has to evaluate very long numbers. In fact before converting the long number into a string it will "collapse" into its exponential notation equivalent (example: 1.2345e4). This notation will be converted into a string and this resulting string will be evaluated for returning its length. All of this will give a wrong result. So I suggest not to use that approach.

看看下面的代码，并运行代码片段来比较不同的行为:

let num = 116234567891011121415113441236542134465236441625344625344625623456723423523429798771121411511034412365421344652364416253446253446254461253446221314623879235441623683749283441136232514654296853446323214617456789101112141511344122354416236837492834411362325146542968534463232146172368374928344113623251465429685; let lenFromMath; let lenFromString; // The suggested way: lenFromMath = Math.ceil(Math.log10(num + 1)); // this works in fact returns 309 // The discouraged way: lenFromString = String(num).split("").length; // this doesn't work in fact returns 23 /*It is also possible to modify the prototype of the primitive "Number" (but some programmer might suggest this is not a good practice). But this is will also work:*/ Number.prototype.lenght = () => {return Math.ceil(Math.log10(num + 1));} lenFromPrototype = num.lenght(); console.log({lenFromMath, lenFromPrototype, lenFromString});

如果不把整数转换成字符串，你可以做一个奇怪的循环:

var number = 20000;
var length = 0;
for(i = number; i > 1; ++i){
     ++length;
     i = Math.floor(i/10);
}

alert(length);​

x.toString().length;

你应该使用最简单的字符串(stringLength)，可读性总是胜过速度。但如果你关心速度，下面有一些。

三种不同的方法，速度各不相同。

// 34ms
let weissteinLength = function(n) { 
    return (Math.log(Math.abs(n)+1) * 0.43429448190325176 | 0) + 1;
}

// 350ms
let stringLength = function(n) {
    return n.toString().length;
}

// 58ms
let mathLength = function(n) {
    return Math.ceil(Math.log(n + 1) / Math.LN10);
}

// Simple tests below if you care about performance.

let iterations = 1000000;
let maxSize = 10000;

// ------ Weisstein length.

console.log("Starting weissteinLength length.");
let startTime = Date.now();

for (let index = 0; index < iterations; index++) {
    weissteinLength(Math.random() * maxSize);
}

console.log("Ended weissteinLength length. Took : " + (Date.now() - startTime ) + "ms");


// ------- String length slowest.

console.log("Starting string length.");
startTime = Date.now();

for (let index = 0; index < iterations; index++) {
    stringLength(Math.random() * maxSize);
}

console.log("Ended string length. Took : " + (Date.now() - startTime ) + "ms");


// ------- Math length.

console.log("Starting math length.");
startTime = Date.now();

for (let index = 0; index < iterations; index++) {
    mathLength(Math.random() * maxSize);
}

一种用于整数或整数部分长度的方法，无需将其常规转换为字符串:

var num = 9999999999; // your number
if (num < 0) num = -num; // this string for negative numbers
var length = 1;
while (num >= 10) {
   num /= 10;
   length++;
}
alert(length);
