 toFixed vs toPrecision vs Math.round() vs bitwise, also trunc, floor (version: 1)

Compares built in and bitwise operators. Specifically, toFixed(), toPrecision(), and Math.round(), and then bit shifting >> 0. In some cases, to places, so *100 and /100. Also tested floor() and trunc() versus the bit mask of |0 (bitwise or). The bitwise tests that are "signed" have the needed ternary statement, whereas the "UNsigned" versions do not.

Comparing performance of: myFloat.toFixed(2) vs myFloat.toPrecision(2) vs Math.round(myFloat*100.0)/100.0 vs Bitwise: signed round ± to 2 places vs Bitwise: UNsigned round ± to 2 places vs myFloat.toFixed(0) vs Math.round() vs Bitwise: signed round ± to int vs Bitwise: UNsigned round ± to int vs Math.floor() round down vs Math.trunc() round toward zero vs Bitwise: round toward zero
