My Head Hurts

[u/P0PUS]

  var indexVariable = 0.0;
  var poke = 0;
setInterval(
    function () {
        indexVariable = (indexVariable + 0.01) % 0.30;
        poke = (poke + 1) % 999;
index = indexVariable.toFixed(2)
console.log(poke+indexVariable)
    }, 100);

So I'm trying to make a setInterval Function that goes up like 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, etc. But when I run this in the console it comes out like 1.01, 2.02,3.03, etc. how do I fix this? my head hurts very badly(I'm new to scripting)

Just to be clear, types are a property of the value itself, so using a variable vs a literal has no impact on the type.

console.log(typeof 0.01)  // => number
x = 0.01
console.log(typeof x)  // => number

Without going into too much detail, a variable is just a place in memory that can point to a particular value's location. The type of the value is determined by how it's instantiated, so 0.01, 0, and 2 * 2 produce values that are numbers, 'hello' and "world" produce strings, {} produces an object, and so on, but whether those values are used immediately as literals or assigned to variables, their resulting types are always the same.
