Ive tryed Math.floor and Math.round but they dont do what I need to do.
#How do I round to one decimal and whole numbers.
heavy basalt
this is why.
what do you mean math.round doesn’t work? I believe it should
can you explain what you want done
tepid helm
not to decimal points
heavy basalt
ohh
tepid helm
math.round(The maths)
heavy basalt
okay, what if you do variable = math.round(number*10) / 10
try that see if it works
tepid helm
is number the calculation?
heavy basalt
yeah
like number is just whatever you did to get your number in the first place
just used it as a placeholder
tepid helm
k
heavy basalt
lmk if it works
heavy basalt
it dont work... this is what I did
you need the /10 outside of the math.round function
or else its going to round your divided value
tepid helm
@heavy basalt uhh
heavy basalt
sewrch up how to format in lua
I can give an example
PD.value = string.format(“%.1f”, number)
then after that do PD.value = tonumber(PD.value)
@tepid helm also sorry for late response had to eat dinner
heavy basalt
and to explain how the formatting works the “%.1f” just says keep one decimal the f being a placeholder for numbers
heavy basalt
so we were both away
alr cool
lmk if it works its been a while since I formatted so I could be wrong
tepid helm
let you know if what?
tepid helm
PD.value = string.format(“%.1f”, number)
do i test these?
heavy basalt
if it works
heavy basalt
do i test these?
yes
tepid helm
is number a placeholder again?
tepid helm
then after that do PD.value = tonumber(PD.value)
does this go in the same line? @heavy basalt
heavy basalt
no, it converts the value from the previous line into a number if you need that, if you dont its not a needed line
heavy basalt
get any errors?
tepid helm
heavy basalt
can I see code?
tepid helm
heavy basalt
you have to make the number into one value I believe
tepid helm
what number?
heavy basalt
the value you are formatting ai dont think you can do operations inside of a .format function
heavy basalt
I would make a variable that does the equation then plug the equation into there

12:57:54.762 ServerScriptService.Convert:10: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got Unicode character U+201c (did you mean '"'?) - Studio - Convert:10
@heavy basalt
heavy basalt
oh between "%.1f" and PDS.Value you need a comma and a space
tepid helm
ill do tommorow

If you convert it back to a number the floating point error will show up again
Its a fundamental limit of how computers store numbers
To get around this, you should store the raw PD value elsewhere and update the real PD value with just the string.format operation
fair shadow
it wouldve been funny if nobody told him what a floating point error is but ok
basically the way that computers estimate decimals sometimes leads to very very slight inaccuracies
not a whole lot you can do about that
why not just use an intvalue instead of a numvalue?
fair shadow
anyway try math.round((equation) * 10) / 10
