Need help with scratch numbers.

ryozer4

Ok so I like making games that involve larger numbers like for instance 5 million, and in scratch it shows it as 5000000, is there any way to put commas in the numbers?

No, because scratch will get confused when you do that. However, you could write some code that makes a version of the number that has commas, but you should only use commas when you're displaying a number, and not actually using it in code.

I found this as an example of something that formats numbers. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/274413232/

As I recall, the problem is that different countries format their numbers different ways.

Do you have an Animate a Name project that you'd like to have added to a studio? Please leave a comment

in this studio.

Yes, in Vietnam, we usually write “six point seven” as 6,7 (we use a comma instead of a point)
and we read it as “sáu (six) phẩy (comma) bảy (seven)”
And the machine doesn't work for decimals.

I'll try using this and say if it works or not, It's not gonna be used in a game incase it breaks it.

I'll need a version in which I can change the input tho.

If you want a version where you can change a certain value, just remix the project, and change the code to let you do that.
