when you look at some of the scores, it looks like the formula is (exp)/(deaths+1) instead

#

I think that's on purpose because if deaths = 0....

tawny sage Apr 4, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

noone with 0 deaths is displayed on the list anyway

#

Okay but, theoretically there could be and you would get a NaN error

which still makes the formula above the table incorrect rn

tawny sage which still makes the formula above the table incorrect rn

It's not incorrect. Many formulas in the world use n+1 for this exact reason.

#

There is no solution that can account for the divide by zero error otherwise.

#

You can just replace deaths with attempts if you want to be semantically correct, but the formula is right both ways

#

The description, however, differs somewhat trivially

#

what's written above the table does not reflect what the table actually shows, that was my point all along

#

Yea the formula is trivally off

#

I didnt even want to show the formula for this very reason

#

But it captures the general idea of the chart better than a sentence could

#

I see the point of wanting to see 0 in the deaths column tho

Ill see what I can do to improve readability

#

Oh actually yeah you could just minus one in the column after the formula, I'm a noob

So the surivival death column was already minus 1 from the number, so it was your actual death count
