How to add a Kill Death Ratio to a DataStore?

I'm a bit confused on how exactly I would do this. I have the rest of my DataStore fully functioning, but this is the only part I'm not so sure about.

    local KDR = Instance.new("NumberValue", StatNumbers)
    KDR.Name = "KDR"
    if Kills.Value == 0 and Deaths.Value == 0 then
        KDR.Value = 0
    elseif Kills.Value >= 0 and Deaths.Value > 0 then
        KDR.Value = Kills.Value/Deaths.Value
    elseif Kills.Value > 0 and Deaths.Value == 0 then
        KDR.Value = Kills.Value
    end

When I go to view my stats and the output, I get this number: -2147483648 I have my Kills set to 28 whilst my deaths are set to 3, so I was expecting a number around 9.3. What should I change to fix this?

This is an integer underflow. I would assume it's something to do with the value of Deaths being 0. Griffi0n 315 — 5y

Yeah I understand that, but I'm just confused because what if you have 1 kill and 0 deaths? The KDR should be 1 and I have no idea on how to get the program to understand that. Just like how any normal KDR is; Kills divided by Deaths. Rallient 40 — 5y

You don't need to divide the kills by 0, so just put the kills.

local KDR = Instance.new("NumberValue", StatNumbers) 

KDR.Name = "KDR"
if Kills.Value == 0 and Deaths.Value == 0 then
    KDR.Value = 0
elseif Deaths.Value > 0 then
    KDR.Value = Kills.Value/Deaths.Value
else
    KDR.Value = Kills.Value
end

I still get the same huge number, not for sure why it won't work. Rallient 40 — 5y

Extremely late, but you need to use math.floor to round it down. kill death ratios tend to go up to the 2nd decimal place (AKA the hundredths place), so you would round it down to that. lunatic5 409 — 5y
