    I am learning....Thank you VikasB . The string best answers works awesome. Now i am worried about 1K...2K...2.2K....1L 

    Thinking about more generic code.

      BowBharath  I think in rare cases answer count may cross this limit. So you can use it

      <#assign string = "Best Answer" />
        <#assign bestAnswersCount = count />
<#if bestAnswersCount &gt; 1>
         <#assign string = "Best Answers" />
<#elseif bestAnswersCount &gt; 999 />
        <#assign bestAnswersCount = "1k" />
<#elseif bestAnswersCount &gt; 1999 />
       <#assign bestAnswersCount = "2k" />
<#elseif bestAnswersCount &gt; 2999 />
       <#assign bestAnswersCount = "3k" />
<#else>
       <#assign bestAnswersCount = "3k+" />
</#if>
<li class="item">${bestAnswersCount} ${string}</li>

      LMK If you think it can cross it. If yes, I'll try to find you a better solution.

        VikasB - There could be multiple cases which you can not handle by if else. 

        e.g

        1.2k,1.4k,1.5, 2.3k and so on. 

         

        BowBharath - 

         

        <#assign string = "Best Answer" />
<#assign bestAnswersCount = count />
<#if bestAnswersCount &gt; 1>
         <#assign string = "Best Answers" />
<#elseif bestAnswersCount &gt; 999 && bestAnswersCount &lt; 1000000 />
        <#assign bestAnswersCount = (count/1000)?c + "1K" /> 
        <#else>
                <#assign bestAnswersCount = (count/1000000)?c + "1M" />  
</#if>
<li class="item">${bestAnswersCount} ${string}</li>

         Above example will work for any number e.g 1500 will be 1.5K, 1500000 will be 1.5M.  I have added condition for thousand and millions, you can customize it more if needed.
