Hello! I am currently stuck at what I’m doing because I can’t think of a solution to my problem. Is it possible to make for example 35 to 30, 1029 to 1000, 1349249 to 1000000? Thanks!
Do you want to use it for number abbreviation? Like turn 298,253 into 298K?
yes, I actually do want to use abbreviation
Ok. I can help you with that. The instructions are not that complicated, but just do the steps correctly. Now here’s the code.
--put this in a module script
local AbbreviatedNumber = {}
local abbreviations = {
K = 4,
M = 7,
B = 10,
T = 13
}
function AbbreviatedNumber:Abbreviate(number)
local text = tostring(math.floor(number))
local chosenAbbreviation
local function getLastCharFromString(str)
return string.sub(str,string.len(str)) or false
end
for abbreviation, digits in pairs (abbreviations) do
if #text >= digits and #text < (digits + 3)then
chosenAbbreviation = abbreviation
break
end
end
if chosenAbbreviation then
local digits = abbreviations[chosenAbbreviation]
local rounded = math.floor(number / 10 ^ (digits - 2)) * 10 ^ (digits - 2)
local pretext = string.format("%.1f",rounded / 10 ^ (digits - 1))
if getLastCharFromString(pretext) == "0" then
pretext = pretext:gsub(".?$","")
pretext = pretext:gsub(".?$","")
end
text = pretext..chosenAbbreviation
else
text = number
end
return text
end
return AbbreviatedNumber
Put it into replicatedStorage and name it AbbreviateNumber
When you want to call it, you can do this:
local number = 348972394
local newNumber = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.AbbreviateNumber):AbbreviateNumber(number)
print(newNumber) -- this will print the new number
