Title: [Function] Converting a string to a floating point number
Post by: JR-Imagine on October 10, 2015, 10:30:11 pm
I got bored so decided to write some random functions and ended up writing something that might be somewhat useful to someone... It converts a string to a floating point number (or integer if it's not a decimal number). Have fun:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
toFloat( in ) { // Don't accept arrays or undefined, return 0 if( isArray( in ) || !isDefined( in ) ) return 0;
// Return original argument, it's not a string so doesn't need any special type conversion algorithm if( !isString( in ) ) return in;
// Split string into 2 seperate strings if( isSubStr( in, "," ) ) // Would be great if people wouldn't use fucking commas for decimals where I live num = strTok( in, "," ); else num = strTok( in, "." );
// Don't need to execute extra logic if the number isn't a decimal and therefore wasn't split into a multi-element array if( num.size <= 1 ) return int( num[0] );
pwr = 10; // Multiply by 10 for each extra character // Initialize i as 1, we don't need to multiply on the first index for( i = 1; i < num[1].size; i++ ) pwr *= 10;
return int( num[0] ) + int( num[1] ) / pwr; }
Example usage:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
number = toFloat( "666.66" ); // type = float, value = 666.66

if( isSubStr( in, "," ) ) // Would be great if people wouldn't use fucking commas for decimals where I live
Haven't you think on people like me, who use a ' instead of a point or a comma? :alone:
Interesting fact: in Spain we use the point where you use the comma and the comma where you use the point. :P Don't know if other countries do the same.
Anyway, good function. I thought it was done automatically by the game (it should >:().

funny you say that, the BO2 decompiled code often substitutes "." for ",", meaning i have to track all instances down. In some args, can look too complicated lol
wait 0,1; is the most common i seem to find
usually , is to define a tenth or a thousand, or for grammar
10,000 = ten thousand, the , is just to make it "clearer"
i see its actually more countries use the comma version than our point version too ? lol

Countries using Arabic numerals with decimal point[edit] Countries where a dot "." is used as decimal mark include:
Australia Bangladesh Botswana British West Indies Brunei Canada (when using English) China, People's Republic of Dominican Republic Egypt Ghana Guatemala Honduras Hong Kong India Ireland Israel Japan Jordan Kenya Korea (both North and South) Lebanon Luxembourg (uses both marks officially) Macau (in Chinese and English text) Malaysia Malta Mexico Mongolia Nepal New Zealand Nicaragua Nigeria Pakistan Palestine Panama Philippines Singapore Sri Lanka Switzerland Taiwan Tanzania Thailand Uganda United Kingdom United States (including insular areas) Zimbabwe
Countries using Arabic numerals with decimal comma[edit] Countries where a comma "," is used as decimal mark include:
Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Argentina Armenia Austria Azerbaijan Belarus Belgium Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Brazil Bulgaria Cameroon Canada (when using French) Chile Colombia Costa Rica Croatia (comma used officially, but both forms are in use) Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark East Timor Ecuador Estonia Faroes Finland France Germany Georgia Greece Greenland Hungary Iceland Indonesia Italy Kazakhstan Kosovo Kyrgyzstan Latvia Lebanon Lithuania Luxembourg (uses both marks officially) Macau (in Portuguese text) Macedonia Moldova Mongolia Morocco Mozambique Namibia The Netherlands Norway Paraguay Peru Poland Portugal Romania Russia Serbia Slovakia Slovenia South Africa Spain Switzerland Sweden Tunisia Turkey Ukraine Uruguay Uzbekistan Venezuela Vietnam

Again no one thinks on people who use this '. :alone: I think this time it has been Wikipedia, hasn't it? I didn't know we were more lol. I thought more countries used the dot for decimals.
And I use 10 000 for ten thousand (with a little space to make it clearer). And 0'1 for decimals.

yes it was from wiki, and if you look he actually allowed for both

That explains why when I talk to other people from other countries they use "," instead of "." I always thought it was a typo :poker:

lol me too, and i thought the bo2 gscs were some sort of problem during the decryption process. When Im gonna assume now that they were decompiled from a Spanish version or something maybe

this function already exists in _zombiemode_utility btw, it is called string_to_float(). the one in world at war is a bit buggy however, but i found a perfectly working one in the black ops 1 version of _zombiemode_utility
