How to check a variable's digit?

[Rink27]

◆Control Variables：#0237 Delivery Time = 56789
◆Script：var x = $gameVariables.value(237);
： ：var y = 3;
： ：
： ：if (y = 4) {
： ：var z = String(x).charAt(2);
： ：} else if (y = 3) {
： ：var z = String(x).charAt(1);
： ：} else {
： ：var z = String(x).charAt(0);
： ：}
： ：$gameVariables.setValue(239,y);
： ：$gameVariables.setValue(240,z);
◆Text：None, Window, Bottom
： ：Value: \V[240]<br>
： ：Length: \V[239]

On the second script line I had coding to obtain the length, but I noticed it always gave a length of 4. So I hard coded it to a length that wasn't 4 and still got 4. What am I doing wrong?

Also, I can't access the "Javascript that don't deserve their own thread" thread. I keep getting an Error message.

=== is used to compare. = is used to assign.

if (y = 4) is always going to evaluate to true, because it assigns the value of 4 to the variable y, then returns true to say the assignment was successful.

I realised my mistake soon after (but couldn't access my own thread because of that forum error). I'm embarrassed having made this thread, lol. I'd blame my sleepiness at the time. Btw...

◆Script：var x = 12345;
： ：var member = x.toString().length;
： ：var last = member.substring(member.length - 2, member.length)
： ：$gameVariables.setValue(240, last);

What I was experimenting with was ways to do a conditional on the last two digits of any number (I was trying to work with the second to last digit). My solution was simply:


◆Script：var x = $gameVariables.value(237) % 100;
： ：$gameVariables.setValue(240, x);

But I was running into errors using that substring method. I was confused between substr and substring though. I think one was jQuery, and I'm not even sure if that could work with MV.

Yeah, easiest way is just to do % 100
