## Example

```js
2024-08-04 22:09:50 +02:00
// Calculate the thread count of a single hack that would take $100k from n00dles
2024-05-23 10:42:47 +02:00
const hackThreads = ns.hackAnalyzeThreads("n00dles", 1e5);
2023-02-17 09:14:20 +01:00
// Launching a script requires an integer thread count. The below would take less than the targeted $100k.
2024-05-27 23:42:31 +02:00
ns.run("noodleHack.js", Math.floor(hackThreads));
