Reduce the amount of decimals with ToString()

[steel raven]

Let's take this from the top.

You have a game. There's money. What kind of game is it?
Are you already using BigDouble, or is that only in this script?

1. an idle game
2. i use bigdouble all throughout the project as idle games need huge numbers when players progress

        balancenum2 = balancenum;
        balancestr2 = balancenum2.ToString("F2");

        balancenum3 = BigDouble.Parse(balancestr2);```

this is a temporary solution

[dire solstice]

you should use a custom number class for incremental games imo

[steel raven]

That's precisely what he's doing.

[brittle marlin]

    private static readonly Dictionary<BigDouble, string> translations = new()
    {
        { 1_000_000_000_000_000_000, "QUIN" },
        { 1_000_000_000_000_000, "QDR" },
        { 1_000_000_000_000, "T" },
        { 1_000_000_000, "B" },
        { 1_000_000, "M" },
        { 1_000, "K" }
    };
    private static bool TryTranslate(BigDouble balancenum, out string? balancestr)
    {
        balancestr = null;

        foreach (var translationPair in BalanceText.translations)
        {
            var outputUnparsed = balancenum / translationPair.Key;
            if (outputUnparsed < 1)
            {
                continue;
            }

            balancestr = outputUnparsed.ToString();
            balancestr = Math.Round(Convert.ToDecimal(balancestr), 2).ToString();
            balancestr += translationPair.Value;
            break;
        }

        return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(balancestr);
    }```

i usethis to format to million

etc

By the way, when I make a thread, I expect to be left alone in it, with the person who requires help.

[dire solstice]

no, not custom double class 😛 custom 'number' class

oh ok, sry

[steel raven]

Perhaps what you want can be achieved by simply editing the second last line before the break;

.ToString("F2"); at the end

[brittle marlin]

can you copy paste the line

to be exact\

i dotn want to change the wrong one

[steel raven]

balancestr = Math.Round(Convert.ToDecimal(balancestr), 2).ToString();
balancestr = Math.Round(Convert.ToDecimal(balancestr), 2).ToString("F2");

[brittle marlin]

balancestr = Math.Round(Convert.ToDecimal(balancestr), 2).ToString();

ok

ill try it now

it still doesnt work

K

M

[steel raven]

wow bot

[brittle marlin]

😭

got it to work

if (!BalanceText.TryTranslate(balancenum, out var balancestr))
{
balancestr = balancenum.ToString("F2");
}

[steel raven]

ah

that's the spot

There's more flexibility with string.Format()

[brittle marlin]

ah

but thank you so much for your help

[steel raven]

You're welcome.
Now, was the a different issue also?

[brittle marlin]

there are no issues that i can think of

<33

[steel raven]

Alright. Have a nice day 👍
