How to extract the first decimal number from a timer?

troynall

what would be the easiest way to just EXTRACT the TENTHs place value from the timer ?
Example,
1.08 = 0
1.14 = 1
1.26 = 2
1.95 = 9

Socks

1.26

1.26*10 = 12.6

floor(12.6) = 12

12/10 = 1.2 [save this into an attribute - let's call it "X"]

floor(1.2) = 1 [save this into another attribute - let's call it "Y"]




X-Y= the 'tenths place value'

Hi @troynall

And here it is, slightly differently (although very similar to @Socks version): a real attribute to hold your number called TempNum, and an integer attribute, let's call it FirstDec

So for the following example, FirstDec is set to 0 and TempNum to 1.95 --or whatever the current number is.

--------------

Change Attribute FirstDec to TempNum
Change Attribute TempNum to (TempNum-FirstDec)*10
Change Attribute FirstDec to floor(TempNum)

Yep ! That's a lot neater ! >-

mod(floor(number*10),10)

Example:
mod(floor(1.26*10),10) = 2

Socks

@Socks
@gyroscope

mod(floor(number*10),10)

Example:
mod(floor(1.26*10),10) = 2

Damn ! : ) That's tight !

Ha! Ditto, @Socks; good one, @tatiang; you get the biscuit! :-) B-)

@socks - yes it is "tighter", but yours shows more manual mechanics on "how to". And i don't mind doing it your way. I was hung up on the leading digit. But your way was the approx version I wrote in pseudo code. Just trying to wrap my head around all these functions. In a few other languages, All I would do is save the time as a string and then pick my string apart until I get my results.

Thanks guys.

The current nightly build available to Pro members contains string manipulation functions that I believe would allow you to do that, though I haven't tried yet.

Eventually, those features will make their way into the stable build available to everyone.
