Creating a percentage from an amount of bytes

[novo]

Hello,

I want to create a percentage from an amout of bytes.

I'm having the following code;

  
    local bytes = 0 
    for i,v in ipairs(clientCreate) do 
        local bytes = bytes + fileGetSize(":"..res.."/"..v) 
    end 
    local percent = bytes/100 
  

Now I want to take a % from the percent I just created by comparing, here:

Lets think that the bytes is equal to 54000 B

  
local bytes = 54000 
local percent = 54000/100 
local percent = 540 --% 
  

Now I want to know what % would be if I'm having 50000 B instead of 54000, 4000 B are left.

I hope you understood me!

Thanks in advance.

50000/54000*100

To calculate percentages first calculate the fraction:

decimal=CURRENT_VALUE/MAX_VALUE 

then multiple by 100 to make it a percentage (otherwise it's a decimal)

this means it is

percent = (CURRENT_VALUE/MAX_VALUE)*100

Grade school maths isn't your strong suit? Seriously, if you don't know the essence of percentage, then what are you doing in the scripting section. Mathetmatical logic is the foundation of programming/scripting.

Well, as far I know I'm not the only one who doesn't know maths very well.

By the way, I searched on the internet and I didn't understand what the people meant and that's why I came here to ask.

And, the education and the respect aren't your strong suits I see.

novo, you need some skill in Physics and more skill in Mathematics for programming/scripting.

"And, the education and the respect aren't your strong suits I see", ffs-racing is being honest and seriously - education?

I don't have any respect for noobs, I have respect for newbies though. I have respect to people who really want to code. I don't have respect for people who don't try and bother everyone else because of it.
