Hello friends!
Please answer a simple question.

AGK has 2 numeric variables available.

Integer
Float

Highest integer number is: 2147483647. But I need to count on numbers higher than 2147483647.
The only option is to use Float. But there is a problem again that when I convert such a number to a string, decimal zeros remain there => "12.0000000". Has anyone solved it yet?

Maybe it would be great if AppGameKit had a DOUBLE variable.

Thank you!

str(FloatNumber#, 0)

Will strip all the zeros out.

will remove all decimal places while you might want to keep non-zeros, instead?

I'd be curious as to WHY do you need such large numbers?

Also wondering why Trunc() doesn't solve your problem?

n00bstar: Trunc() leaves decimal numbers. The conversion to String then contains them.

Trunc() doesn't leave any decimal, that's its only function. It returns the integer part of a float.

Generally when you reach Larger Denominations, the precision is less important on the Thousands / Hundreds / Pennies.
With this said., it's ALWAYS a good practise to work to Scales.

i.e.



Essentially whenever you'd add a comma ( , ) or decimal ( . ) you take that as a "New Scale"
As you would handle the mathematics on each Scale Segment; this means aside from needing to handle Carry (>999) or Remainder (Negative) Values to be included in the next Scale; this isn't too difficult.
