Can anyone help me with number abbreviations? Like 1000=1k, 1000000=1m, etc.

Sadly, there is another forum like this I believe. I won't report it as an exception!

Hey there,

If you want to work on number abbreviations we're going to use parsing.

Lets start by checking if the last letter is either k (thousand) m (million) or b (billion). We can do so by taking advantage of the length of string block:

If thats not the case then well make sure it is indeed a number. To do so, were going to square it. If it returns a 0 then we know its incorrect as no numbers squares return 0.

Ok perfect. Now lets get to work. If the value is k then we want to multiply it by 1000. If its m then we want to multiply it by 1000000. And finally if its b we multiply it by 1000000000

Hope this helps!

That won’t work.

What you will actually want to do is make another variable as the output we can have the actual value stay the same.

So, to make the abbreviated number:

First, check how big the number is.

Example: >=1000 we use K as the abbreviation

Then, we divide the number by a power of 10 based on the previous check.
For >=1000 we use 1000

Now, we can round the number down to 2 digits after the decimal place (1.00)

Note: >= is the same as not(<)

Duplicate topics don't really matter in the Help with Scripts section, I believe. They're only an issue in the Suggestions, I think.

There is one case where duplicates still exist in HWS. If the same user creates 2 topics for the same issue, those are duplicates.

Before I even saw all these posts, I finally figured it out! But can you help me with going over the quadrillions?

Then it just goes to the exponents.

Loop-based solution, with negative number support.

Yeah, it feels like the entire topic forgot about loops or something.

I'm trying to make a clicker game, not like an ask and answer thing.

I think I solved the problem!
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1067849190

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1067575984/

This project by this insanely handsome, talented, and smart scratcher seems to sort ur problem, click space to run, and also consider dropping a follow if it helped

here is a one liner that does this made by yours truly

have a list with the abbreviations in order EX:k,m,b,t

or drag the code from my project into your backpack!

So, like, just replace the ask and answer with your game code?????? Do you expect me to make an entire clicker to go with it?

will this work for scientific form tho? log becomes slightly inaccurate when put to massive numbers in java and scratch, causing ur calculations to go off

accurate to the first few digits, which is usually all you need. i doubt anyone that wants a number shortener wants like 1.327474983749387decillion they prolly would want just like 1.328 decillion.
in my project, i have a way to round it to however many decimals as well.

first, make a list on number abbreviations (dw I gotchu for some)
k, m, b, t, Qd, Qi, Sx ,Sp, Oc, No, D, UnD, DuD, TrD, QdD, QiD SxD SpD OcD NovD v… then so on
at the same time you could make the number abbrivation word thing full

then make a script (simplest form) like this

it appears the block is tooooooo long. use shift+arrow to view entire thing.

Or use quote to view the entire thing in text.

Which one is it?

Just so you don't get confused, I want to find a list-free alternative. Not anything with

idk but this is the best one
