::::@[[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]], I am sorry, I didn't catch the meaning first time reading it. So, I added a test to your talk page. [[User:Repakr|Repakr]] ([[User talk:Repakr|talk]]) 09:30, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Repakr}} I'm looking at function <code>variable_name</code> in [[:uk:Module:Convert/пісочниця]] and wondering what <code>exp_multiplier</code> is and why the function is so different from my ten-year old code. I'll have to leave it at the moment but will look again in a day or two. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 10:40, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]], the function is different because Ukrainian uses a different declension than Polish. Ukrainian also has three field declension (metry, metriv, metra) as Polish, but declension differs based on numbers. It works like this singular form is used if the number is 1 or its combination with tens (except 11; like 21, 31), hundreds (like 101, 121, etc.), thousands, and so on; form metry is used if the number is 2, 3, 4 or its combination with tens (except 12, 13, 14; like 22, 32), hundreds (like 102, 122, etc.), thousands and so on; metriv is used if the number is 0 or higher than 4 (it includes 11, 12, 13, 14) or its combination with tens (like 24, 35), hundreds (like 104, 125, etc.), thousands and so on. Form metra is used for both 1/2 and 1.2 fractions. So for me, it was easier to rewrite a code using a function built in MediaWiki that chose the correct form for Ukrainian.
::::::<code>exp_multiplier</code> stands for expotential multiplier and it stores the value of <code>eng_scales</code>, so the text of <code>eng_scales</code> can be also declened based on forms of numbers, like milion, miliony, milioniv, miliona.
::::::Although I did the modification, I tried without those modifications and a bug was present. [[User:Repakr|Repakr]] ([[User talk:Repakr|talk]]) 13:12, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
