hackAnalyzeThreads() Netscript Function ======================================= .. js:function:: hackAnalyzeThreads(hostname, hackAmount) :RAM cost: 1 GB :param string hostname: Hostname of server to analyze. :param number hackAmount: Amount of money you want to hack from the server. :returns: The number of threads needed to :doc:`hack` the server for ``hackAmount`` money. This function returns the number of script threads you need when running the :doc:`hack` command to steal the specified amount of money from the target server. If ``hackAmount`` is less than zero or greater than the amount of money available on the server, then this function returns -1. For example, let's say the 'foodnstuff' server has $10m and you run: .. code-block:: javascript hackAnalyzeThreads("foodnstuff", 1e6); If this function returns 50, this means that if your next :doc:`hack` call is run on a script with 50 threads, it will steal $1m from the `foodnstuff` server. .. warning:: The value returned by this function isn't necessarily a whole number. .. warning:: It is possible for this function to return :code:`Infinity` or :code:`NaN` in certain uncommon scenarios. This is because in JavaScript: * :code:`0 / 0 = NaN` * :code:`N / 0 = Infinity` for 0 < N < Infinity. For example, if a server has no money available and you want to hack some positive amount from it, then the function would return :code:`Infinity` because this would be impossible.
