Hey, so I have no clue on how to make a number system that display short numbers such as 1k, 1M, 1B, 1T, etc. instead of displaying 1000, 100,000,000, etc.. I understand it's probably very difficult, but help would be very appreciated!

If variable1 > 1000 and < 1000000, divide by 1000. Same for each interval. And then broadcast “message telling you that it's in the thousands.” When that message is received, add join (variable1)(K)

I made a project capable of showing from units to billions, I think it can display up to trillions easily, you try it…

Oh I didn't see your message, I'll try both of yours for sure. Thanks a lot man.

@Oumuamua's is better; use his. He already figured everything out. I was just reasoning through how I would do it

I'll see what happens but, honestly I wanna figure it out with help when I need it. If I'm really stuck then I'll use it lol. Also, can you explain to me how exactly I can add the “K”, “M”, etc. I think I can handle the other part you explained to me.

Edit: I made it so it can divide it, but I'm stuck about the “K, ”M“, ”B", etc..

Just whenever you store the number in the variable, instead of this:

set [variable v] to [x]

Do this:

set [variable v] to (join [x] [K])

X is the number that has already been divided, K is the letter (K,M,T, etc.)

Wait how exactly do I pick out specific numbers out of a variable. Like lets say I have 1200, I want to take out 200. Wait nevermind I know.

You could treat a large number as a text string, getting(and joining) every three digits every time.

Time to rest for me

Can you explain a bit more?

I think what he means is that one variable can store any amount of variables if you use the join function.

You can nest the join function inside itself to create more slots.

(join (join [111 ] [M ]) (join (join [111 ] [K ]) (join [111 ] [_])))

^^That will look like this: ((variableName) (111 M 111 K 111 _)
(I just put the underscore as a placeholder; you don't need it there)

Oh okay thanks.

I didn't really understand. If you want 1000 to show 1k instead, and the numbers are stored in a variable I can help:

if <(number's variable) = [1000]> then
set [number's variable v] to [1k]
end

could we use the mod block to calculate

Please don’t necropost. And make a new topic for any questions you have

Does anyone know how to keep numbers precision so im tryna type 11111111111111111111111111111+1 and then it comes out as 1e+28 does anyone know how to stop scratcch from doing that?
