Passing array to function

Question

I'm trying to use the code below to convert an array of numbers in scientific notation to standard notation. The conversion code itself works, but when trying to pass an array of numbers to the function, it's not receiving anything. Returning the "theArray" array gives me an empty array. What am I doing wrong?
Here's the applicable code:
set convertedArray to my deScience(myArray)
on deScience(theArray)
set s to 1
set deScienceArray to {}
repeat length of theArray times
set testNumber to my round_truncate(item s of theArray, 6)
if testNumber contains ".-" then
set x to the offset of "." in testNumber
set partOne to characters 1 thru (x) of testNumber as string
set partTwo to characters (x + 2) thru length of testNumber as string
set the combinedNumber to partOne & partTwo
set s to s + 1
set end of the deScienceArray to testNumber
end if
end repeat
return the deScienceArray
end deScience

Answer 1

It would help if you included an example of the input values you're passing in (e.g. are you passing in text objects or real numbers?
For example, unless your round_truncate() handler takes care of the coercion, the following would likely return different results:
set myArray to {"1.23456E+5"} -- text object
set myArray to {1.23456E+5} -- scientific notation
set myArray to {123456.0} -- real number
