Description

Description:

Converts a number into a string, keeping a specified number of decimals. If the desired number of decimals are higher than the actual number, nulls are added to create the desired decimal length. This command is almost identical in behaviour to JavaScript toFixed()

NOTE: Converted number is never presented in scientific notation unlike with other number to string commands. Also Arma's default string conversion limits numbers to 6 significant figures, whereas with this command it is possible to preserve some extra precision. str (pi/100000); //"3.14159e-005" - scientific notation (pi/100000) toFixed 10; //"0.0000314159" - no scientific notation str pi; //"3.14159" - 6 significant figures (default) pi toFixed 6; //"3.141593" - forced to 7 significant figures pi toFixed 7; //"3.1415927" - forced to 8 significant figures
