--NOTES:
 
--    [ These comments are skipped by <noinclude> and not send
 
--      inside formatted Internet pages, only during edit. ]
 
--
 
--NOTE A1: This template determines the precision of decimals
 
--    by counting the length of the numeric string (in a
 
--    #switch comparing lengths of padded strings), then
 
--    subtracting integer length, minus the decimal point,
 
--    and minus 1 if negative. For integers, 1 place is
 
--    subtracted for each trailing 0 on the integer.
 
--    For fractions, any prior count is cleared x 0, then
 
--    size is logarithm of denominator divided by logn 10:
 
--    (..prior...)*0 + floor(logn denom / logn 10 - .01) + 1.
 
--
 
--NOTE D2: The check, for whole integers, compares the amount
 
--    versus appending "0" at the end: when the amount is a
 
--    decimal, then the value is unchanged by appending 0 at
 
--    the end: so 5.23 = 5.230 is true, whereas for whole
 
--    integers, it would be: 5 = 50 as false, due to values
 
--    becoming n*10 for integer n. So, for integer n, the
 
--    check rejects: n = n0 as false; hence n is integer.
 
--
 
--NOTE M3: The magnitude of the integer portion is calculated
 
--    by logarithm of the floor of absolute value (divided by
 
--    [[natural logarithm]] of 10 to adjust for e=2.71828*),
 
--    as: ln (floor( abs({{{1|-0.050067}}}) )+0.99 )/ln10
 
--    Function floor(x) trims the decimal part, to leave the
 
--    whole count: 0-9 yield 0, 10-19 as 1, 1000-1999 as 3.
 
--    The abs(x) avoids floor of negatives, floor(-0.1)= -1,
 
--    hence using abs(x) ensures -0.1 floors to 0 not -1.
 
--    Near zero, the +0.99 avoids invalid log of 0, but does
 
--    not round-up any decimals, already floored as nnn.00.
 
--    Complexity is 6 operations: floor of abs( {1} ) +0.99
 
--    then logn div logn10, then floor that logarithm ratio.
 
--    Decimals -1 < x < 1 yield -1, avoiding log 0.001 = -3.
 
--
 
--NOTE N4: Nesting of if-else and nested templates is kept to
 
--    a minimum, due to the MediaWiki 1.6 limit of 40 levels
 
--    of if-logic for all nested templates used together.
 
--    Template {ordomag} was omitted to avoid 2 more levels
 
--    of nested templates. Template {Precision} had 8 levels,
 
--    and this template was trimmed to only 5 levels.
 
--
 
--NOTE S5: The #switch is run with "x" prepended in front of
 
--    the amount, otherwise a #switch will compare as numeric
 
--    where 2 would match "2.0" even though "2" is length 1.
 
--    So "x2" won't match "x2.0" in non-numeric comparison.
 
--    The #switch will exit on the first match, so smaller
 
--    lengths are compared first, to avoid extra comparisons
 
--    for more rare, longer numeric strings up to 41 long.
 
--
 
--NOTE W6: The check for integers with whole end-zeroes uses
 
--    typical n=n/10*10, for each power of 10, where whole
 
--    millions match: {{#ifexpr: {1}=floor( {1}/1E6 )*1E6| }}
 
--    Previously, {Precision} had tried to use "round" to
 
--    detect end-zeroes but "round" loses precision at -5,
 
--    so, n00000 round -5 differs from n00000 slightly, and
 
--    comparisons to exact rounded amounts failed to match
 
--    some numbers when 6 or more zeroes "n000000".
 
--
 
--NOTE Z7: The check on zero for any .00000 compares adding 1
 
--    to the amount, versus appending "1" at the end: if the
 
--    amount is a decimal, then adding 1 will be larger than
 
--    appending 1 at the end: 0.00 + 1 > 0.001, whereas for
 
--    whole zero, it would be: 0+1 > 01 as false, due to the
 
--    value being the same. So, for integer 0, the check
 
--    rejects: 0+1 > 01 as false; hence whole 0 is integer.
 
--
 
-- WARNING: *** DO NOT DELETE COMMENTS FROM THIS TEMPLATE ***
 
--      Unless these comments are readily available, people
 
--      might tinker with the coding (or rename templates),
 
--      in hopes to clarify operation because these comments
 
--      were not nearby to explain the issues. Having these
 
--      comments only on a doc-page increases the danger of
 
--      explanations no longer matching the current coding.
 
--      UPDATE these comments to match changes to the template.
 
--      UPDATE the HISTORY during major changes (not typos).

--------------------------------------------------------------
 
--HISTORY:
 
--15Aug10 Created to get precision even if large or negative.
 
--15Aug10 Put NOTES comments to explain template coding.
 
--15Aug10 Put HISTORY comments to log major changes.
 
--18Aug10 Fixed to handle zero: 0 as 0, 0.000 as 3, etc.
 
--04Sep10 Fixed to handle decimals between 0~1 (by round 0).
 
--04Sep10 Updated NOTES to explain the check appending 0 or 1.
 
--03Jan11 Fix integer end-zeroes: 50 as -1, 500 as -2, 5000 -3.
 
--03Jan11 Omit {Order of Magnitude} for 2 levels less nesting.
 
--03Jan11 Omit {Str_len} for 8 fewer levels of 40-nest limit.
 
--03Jan11 Put "noinclude" around all inter-line HTML comments.
 
--03Jan11 Allow fraction "/": floor(ln denom/ln 10 -.01)+1.
 
--08Feb11 Fixed to not count minus sign on negative integers.
 
--08Feb11 Extended to handle integers with 14 end-zeroes "0".
 
--08Feb11 Ordered length-search by most-likely (rarely 1 or 2).
 
--10Feb11 Re-added NOTES/HISTORY to explain logic & changes.
 
--22Jun11 Move to Precision: no need to keep all three.
 
--22Jun11 No rounding up for fractions (i.e. ln denom/ln 10)
