Use this wherever you would like, just be sure to give credit :) Only downside is no support for decimals, but you can multiply numbers by powers of ten before encoding to maintain some precision.
This is a cloud list designed specifically to store numbers. For an upcoming project, I needed a way to store numbers in a cloud list, and was unhappy with the efficiency of conventional cloud lists for storing numbers. Many cloud list designs are alphanumeric, and work for a large amount of characters, including numbers. However, I felt there was a more efficient way to store solely numbers. If I followed the normal process of encoding the numbers with a two-digit value each, the length of one item in the list as stored in the cloud variable would be 2(n+1), where n is the length of the item in the list. I was unhappy with this, as I felt there was a better way to store only numbers. I eventually settled on converting the numbers to base 9 and using '9' as the divider between items in a list. This method is extremely quick, keeps up very well with updates, and is, on average, 95% more efficient than alphanumeric cloud lists. Feel free to adapt it however you need. Additionally, it comes with a free extremely quick base converter! All work by me :)
