Notations

**Notations** are one of the many options provided to the player to customize the method in which large numbers are formatted in Antimatter Dimensions.

## General Info

There are currently 24 notations that the player can choose from on web. They are:

* Scientific
* Engineering
* Letters
* Standard\*
* Emojis\*
* Mixed scientific
* Mixed engineering
* Logarithm
* Brackets\*
* Infinity
* Roman
* Mixed Logarithm
* Dots\*
* Zalgo
* Hex\*
* Imperial
* Clock\*
* Prime
* Bar\*
* Shi\*
* Blind\*
* Blobs
* ALL

In addition to the notations on web, you can choose from an additional 10 notations on mobile:

* Clicker Heroes
* Metric
* SI
* True Blind\*
* Omega\*
* Greek\*
* Flag\*
* YesNo\*
* Custom
* Random

\* - These notations are considered "painful", because they notate numbers under 1,000. Emoji notation increases the player.spreadingCancer value when purchasing a galaxy, which is required for the "Deep Fried" achievement.

The option is under the Options tab. There is a related option labeled "Commas on large exponents On/Off" for exponents in Scientific and related notations to have commas with exponents over 1.000e5. When evaluated, the number is first divided in to components of scientific notation, power and mantissa.

### Custom

Custom notation allows you to input your own custom alphabet to create a notation.

### Standard

Standard Notation is the standards of numbers. Like how we would use strings of numbers, they go by how we do numbers.

For numbers past Ce, the list will repeat for the ones and tens over and over again. There are also some more suffixes for each of the hundreds.

The numbers will follow the rule:

1. Let *e* be floor(power/3)-1.
2. Divide *e* by commas every 3 digits.) 2304933->2,304,933
3. For each groups, divide into each digits (here represented by *abc* where each letter representing a digit) and convert to a string by following table, each digit connected from left to right:

Examples given can be DVgQu for 225, and SpQdSi for 747.

To count past NNnNe, the list will repeat itself over and over again, as well as repeating each of the 100-illions. However, there is a difference between putting "MI-", "MC-", "NA-", "PC-", and "FM-" on numbers. Putting MI- resembles 1000-illion or 1e3003. The D from MI-D will resemble 1002-illion, but DMI will resemble 2000-illion. However, "U" can't be placed like UMI, but can still be used like MI-U.

For the strings past NNnNe, "MI-" is e3003, "MC-" is e3M, "NA-" is e3B, "PC-" is e3T", and "FM-" is e3Qa.

The number is [mantissa in Engineering (1<=a<1000)]+[space]+[the abbreviation].

### Letters/Emojis

This notation is somewhat similar to the Standard notation, but instead the decimal is replaced with a name, it uses letters/emojis respectively in index order. The emojis in Emojis notation is related to the letters they are representing. Basically, instead of K, M, B, T, etc., it uses a, b, c, ..., z, aa, ab, and so on.

### Scientific/Engineering

These are the most used and most practical notations to use in applications.

Scientific notation separates mantissa (>=1∧<10) and exponents, and then connect it by [matissa]e[exponent]. Engineering notation is very similar to scientific notation, but mantissa instead goes up to 1000 and exponent is always multiple of 3, and connect the same way with scientific notation. It was formally connected by ᴇ until 2018/06/20.

When the "Commas for large exponents" is disabled, and above e100000, the exponent of a number also gets shortened in the same way (2e100000 to 2e1e5; 20e99999 to 20e100e3)

#### Mixed Scientific/Mixed Engineering

This notation is a hybrid of Standard notation and Scientific/Engineering notation. If the value is less than 1.000e33 they use Standard notation. Else, use Scientific/Engineering notation.

### Logarithm

This notation does not use mantissa, but instead take a **base-10 logarithm** of the number, and lead it by "e".

#### Infinity

This is closely related to the Logarithm notation, but instead it takes a **base-Infinity logarithm** of the value, then succeed it with *∞*.

#### Brackets

Brackets notation (formerly known as Default notation, see below) is also somewhat related to Logarithm notation, but has very unique systems.

1. Take log6 of the number.
2. Separate into integer part and decimal part.
3. Multiply decimal part by 36, take the floor, then take mod 6.
4. Convert the integer part and value from step 3 into base 6 with digits ), [, {, ], (, }, and connect it with '.'.
5. Lead the string with 'e'.

#### Prime

Prime notation persistently **ONLY** uses prime numbers, exponents, and parenthesis. Numbers with more than 2 factors like 4, 6, 9 will be notated as 22, 2x3, and 32. Prime numbers like 2, 3, and 5 will appear as normal.

#### Blind

Blind notation turns off all the numbers being shown, resulting in unknown values when playing the game. This applies to majority of numbers, some being an exception. (8th, 10, achievement numbers)

#### ALL

The "ALL" notation is a complete mashup of all the possible notations the game uses. It changes every 1 Kx (1e3), there is no known order on how the notations go by.

## Exceptions

* If not broken Infinity, and if the number is Infinite(greater or equal to Infinity), it will always display "Infinite".
* Somehow, if none of above is met and if the number is greater than 1e100000, it will display "1337 H4CK3R".

## Trivia

* On April Fools 2018, 2 new notations (Infinity and Brackets) were introduced. If a player was post-eternity when they first entered the page on April Fools, their notation option was automatically changed to what is now Brackets notation. Hevipelle made it "a new default notation", and temporarily set the name of the notation to "Default". They were changed to what they are now a few days later. In addition, April Fools had a random event that made both theme and notation change to Cancer.
* After beating the game, no matter what notation you use, every number will display as "END".
