Keeping the decimal place for integers?

I have this cooldown GUI which represents the cooldown of your gadget. It represents the cooldown in tenths, so it would go down like 8.9, 8.8, 8.7… which works perfectly fine. But I just want to add something to make it look a little bit nicer. If I get a whole number, instead of, for example, 5, I want it to say 5.0 instead. I tried searching for solutions but I’m not sure what to search up as this is kind of specific. Thanks for the help!

This might not be the best solution, but:

if math.floor(number)==number then
text ..= ".0"
end

Assuming you set text to tostring(number).

You’ll want to use string.format

string.format("%.1f", [Countdown Number Here])

local seconds = 10
for i = 0, seconds*10 do
	if ((i-10)%10 == 0) then
		print(10-(i*.1)..".0")
	else
		local num = 10-(i*.1)
		print(math.round(num*10)/10)
	end
	wait(.1)
end

Even better is to turn your code into a function or module so you can re-use it easier

string.format is a function, wrapping it inside of another function would just decrease performance.
