Description
- Description:
- Description needed
- Groups:
- MathStrings
Syntax
- Syntax:
- Syntax needed
- Parameters:
- number: Number - number to convert
- decimals: Number - number of decimals to display (range 0-20)
- Return Value:
- Return value needed
Alternative Syntax
- Syntax:
- toFixed decimals Template:Since
- Parameters:
- decimals: Number - number of decimals to display (range 0-20). -1 to reset to default number of decimals
- Return Value:
- Nothing
Examples
- Example 1:
123 toFixed 2; // "123.00"- Example 2:
2.34 toFixed 1; // "2.3" 2.35 toFixed 1; // "2.4"- Example 3:
- Convert position to string preserving position precision:
fn_posToString = { format [ "[%1,%2,%3]", _this select 0 toFixed 8, _this select 1 toFixed 8, _this select 2 toFixed 8 ] }; str getPos player; // "[3231.05,171.802,0.00143862]" getPos player call fn_posToString; // "[3231.04882813,171.80192566,0.00143862]" - Example 4:
- Same as Example 3 only using new alternative syntax:
str getPos player; // "[3231.05,171.802,0.00143862]" toFixed 8; str getPos player; // "[3231.04882813,171.80192566,0.00143862]"
