[BUG] Pie charts rounding errors?

[Hamudistan]

On the one hand, the causes of death for my people add up to only 99%, on the other hand, the government expenditures add up to 101%. Are the charts supposed to balance out like that or should each individual chart represent 100%?

[LlanfairPG]

Maybe 1% of your population is immortal? Or we don't know how they die.

As for the Government Expendature; only having to borrow 1% from abroad is brilliant! Britain is borrowing £122 billion this year, thats over 15% of income.

All numbers shown are rounded, consequently the rounded numbers don't always add up to 100% exactly.

Example:
item1: 33.333333%, displayed rounded as "33".
item2: 33.333333%, displayed rounded as "33".
item3: 33.333334%, displayed rounded as "33".
Total of non-rounded values: 100%. Total of rounded values: 99%.

This works for three or more items in the chart, but how does it work with only two?

Same principle applies for 2 items as well. Example:
Item 1: 50.5%, displayed rounded up as 51%.
Item 2: 49.5%, displayed rounded up as 50%.
Total of non-rounded values: 100%. Total of rounded values: 101%.

No, the question is how do you end up at 99% with only two items?

Do we KNOW that 0.5% rounds up? It's possible that the formula in place rounds DOWN.

With three items that are rounded down but have a total of 1%, like 0,4%.

It rounds half up.

What does that mean?

[Ballotonia]

If items which round to "0%" are not listed, imagine the following example:
Item 1: 49.3%, displayed rounded down as 49%.
Item 2: 50.3%, displayed rounded down as 50%.
Item 3: 0.4%, NOT displayed since rounded down it's 0%.
Total of non-rounded values: 100%. Total of rounded values: 99%.

Then why does my economy pie chart show "private sector 0%, public sector 100%"? Is this a specialty of the economy pie chart or can't there be less than two item?

Note the "IF" my reply started off with. I can't look into the game code, just make a guess as to how things work based on what I see happening. My best guess is that indeed the "0%" in the Economy graph is an exception to the general rule.

Do you have an example of someone's Economy graph adding up to 99%, or a "0%" listed in a Government or People graph?

I imagine for it to be not on the chart you would need absolute zero private spending. So 0% is rounded, however because your private spending isn't absolutely 0 it is still displayed. I think the new Tax calculations may have something to do with it, as when you get closer to 100% taxation it becomes harder to obtain it. The same goes for 0% Tax and 100% Private Sector.

This is correct.

No, with the exception of the Public vs Private sector pie slices on the Economy chart, values are not displayed unless they're at least 1% after rounding. So you may have non-zero spending that's less than 0.5% of the total but not shown.

Ah. Understood. Thanks Violet.
