    constructor() public {
       _name = {{TOKEN_NAME}};
       _symbol = {{TOKEN_SYMBOL}};
       _decimals = {{DECIMALS}};
       _totalSupply = {{TOTAL_SUPPLY}};
       _balances[msg.sender] = _totalSupply;
   
       emit Transfer(address(0), msg.sender, _totalSupply);

   
   When I put
   

   _decimals = 4;
       _totalSupply = 10000

   
   it only minted 1 token I think because I put 4 decimals. If I put 8 decimals will it make 10,000 tokens?

   Not my area of expertise, but wouldn't it just make 1 token that can be subdivided. Kind of like you can send 1/16th of a Bitcoin. or what have you. Since the total amount available seems to be 10000 in your example?
   
   Also, why don't you put 8 decimals and look at the results? Practical application and experimentation is how you actually learn these sorts of things.

   I figured it out you need like 32 0's to make 100 million
   
   IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING you add the supply zero + decimal zero to the "total supply" parameter
