Information

This function takes an integer, and returns a string formatted with commas (','), to make it easier to read. This can be very useful for scripts that use money, such as a lottery script.

Parameters:

Return Values:

Example

AddCommasToInt(1234567); // Returns 1,234,567
AddCommasToInt(1234);    // Returns 1,234
AddCommasToInt(123);     // Returns 123

Definition

/**
 * Adds thousands separators to a number and returns the result as a string. It
 * seems only logical to start from the back and count groups of 3 until the
 * front is reached. Works with any positive or negative 32 bit integer.
 *
 * @param int number value to add seperators to
 * @param string separator the separator char
 * @return string the formatted string
