Hi!
I need some help. I wish to get a number from a flex value. You know the way that the CTF cogs get the hundreds, tens and units from a score, well, I wish to get the tenths, hundredths, thousandths, tenthousandths, hundredthousandths, and millionths from a flex speed and show them on number surfaces. Please help?

The modulus operator is what you seek. (% in cog) Check datamaster. It returns the remainder of a division in cog.

Yes, DM says what it is, but doesn't say what is needed to get certain numbers and onto 8 seperate surfaces. As the title sort of indicates, I haven't the fogiest what to % the flex with to get the stuff under the decimal point.

Ok, see these 3 lines? They're used to display the score limit mats correctly.

The first one will get you hundreds, 2nd tens, and 3rd one is Ones. Follow the math and it should make sense.

Oh, and don't worry about decimal. JK will ignore it all if you save the return value into an int.

Actually, I've found that to be untrue. If you save it into an int, JK seems to convert the int into a flex to hold the data it's given. I've attached a cog which will show this. There's a way to truncate, formula, and Zeq had it.

(For things like mats though, since an int is required, JK seems to then truncate for the appropriate cel)

Greate! Figured it out! flex*10^DecimalPoints%10

This syntax in cog will not give the proper value:
flex*10^DecimalPoints%10

because it really means this:
(flex * 10) ^ (DecimalPoints % 10)
[The ^ operator is not 'power' but 'exclusive-or', and the end result would be a flex not an int (which is okay if the result will be truncated where it is used).]

In cog, use this:
tenths = flex * 10 % 10;
hundredths = flex * 100 % 10;
thousandths = flex * 1000 % 10;
ten-thousandths = flex * 10000 % 10;
hundred-thousandths = flex * 100000 % 10;
millionths = flex * 1000000 % 10;

Truncate existing flex: result = flexval - (flexval % 1);

Yes, well, I wrote ^ because I knew what it meant in mathamatical terms. Didn't mean it to be taken in COG terms.
