== Use in other modules ==

The <code>gaps</code> function can be useful for [[MOS:DIGITS|formatting]] in other modules that work with displaying large numbers.

 

local gaps = require('Module:Gapnum').gaps

 

Using the <code>gaps</code> function, the first argument is the number to format. The second argument can be a table with keys that tell the module how to format. The table keys that can be used are:

Note that the return statement is a table. This means more styling or text can be added to the wrapper span tag, but it may also mean that <code>tostring()</code> may be required when used in other modules.

 

local gaps = require('Module:Gapnum').gaps

 

local n_small_10 = gaps(n, {gap='1px', prec=10})

end

 

The <code>groups</code> function can be used in other modules to separate a number into groups as <code>gaps</code> does, but instead of a formatted <code>string</code>, the function will return tables whose elements are the separated groups.

 

local groups = require('Module:Gapnum').groups

 

local n4a,n4b = groups(123.4567,8)

end
