Is there any way to estimate a number using arithmetic?

[Contqnt]

I’m making a game that measures your CPS (Clicks Per Second). Everything is going well, but I found something I want to change, which is estimating, or rounding, to make it an integer.

I have done my research but just can’t find anything about the topic.

Here is an image showing the amount of CPS:

Also, here is my script:

local cps = script.Parent.TextLabel
local button = script.Parent.TextButton
local start = script.Parent.Start

start.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("3")
	wait(1)
	print("2")
	wait(1)
	print("1")
	wait(1)
	print("CLICK!")
	
	for count = 1, 4, 1 do
		button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			button.TextLabel.Text = button.TextLabel.Text + 1/3
		end)
	end
	
	wait(3)
	
	button.TextLabel.Text = button.TextLabel.Text / 3
	cps.Text = button.TextLabel.Text
	
	game.Players.LocalPlayer:Kick("You have got a total CPS of "..cps.Text.."! Rejoin if you want to test again.")
end)

Thank you for taking the time to read the current problem I’m having!

@Contqnt

rounding, to make it an integer

you can also use string.format since you are printing it out/using it as a text which is important for “string” types like text:

Rounding to 1 decimal point

use string.format: function roundNumber(num, numDecimalPlaces) return tonumber(string.format("%." .. (numDecimalPlaces or 0) .. "f", num)) end print(roundNumber(4.6787673219385, 1)) --prints 4.7 print(roundNumber(4.6787673219385, 2)) --prints 4.68 print(roundNumber(4.6787673219385, 3)) --prints 4.679

Or, There’s this method which works with “numbers” type value,

Rounding Number to Nearest Whole

local function round(n) return math.floor(n + 0.5) end Floor just drops the decimal (rounds down), so any number with a decimal < 0.5 would not get to the next integer (rounding down), where >= 0.5 would (and thus round down to the next highest). This function rounds up at 0.5, if you have a preference to round down if at 0.5, you have to use math.ceil and subtract 0.5 instead.

Thank you, let me see if this works!

local cps = script.Parent.TextLabel
local button = script.Parent.TextButton
local start = script.Parent.Start

local decimalPlaces = 0 -- Any number between 0 and 2

start.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	print("3")
	wait(1)
	print("2")
	wait(1)
	print("1")
	wait(1)
	print("CLICK!")
	
	for count = 1, 4, 1 do
		button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			button.TextLabel.Text = button.TextLabel.Text + 1/3
		end)
	end
	
	wait(3)
	
	button.TextLabel.Text = button.TextLabel.Text / 3



        local Clicks =  button.TextLabel.Text
        Clicks*= 10^decimalPlaces
        Clicks+=0.5
        Clicks = math.floor(clicks)
        Clicks /= 10^decimalPlaces
        cps.Text = Clicks
	
   
	game.Players.LocalPlayer:Kick("You have got a total CPS of "..cps.Text.."! Rejoin if you want to test again.")
end)
