Function

createAmount

```
createAmount(num: SupportedNumber, decimals?: number): Amount
```
Returns a new asset amount.

Parameters
- num: SupportedNumber
  The desired value for the amount.
- Optionaldecimals: number
  The desired number of decimal digits.
Returns Amount
An asset amount with the specified value, and decimal digits added to it if needed. Be careful with blockchain return values! They are generally represented as big integers, removing the decimal point. If you want to use (num: 1000, decimals: 3) to represent 1.000, you should use createAmountFromBalance(1000, 3) instead.

Example
TypeScript
```
createAmount(1, 2) // returns 1.00
createAmount("1", 2) // returns 1.00
```
