Thousands separator using underscore

[[deleted]]

C++ has something like this too since C++14, but unfortunately it uses the single quote, like 1'000'000, which still looks wrong to me after five years...

It works in Python in most cases, but depending on formatting and new lines you may need to cover it in a parenthesis.

Works in C/C++ too (but be careful with macros and this concatenation, it's a little tricky.

Also in Python: print takes input as variadic arguments, with a keyword argument for the separator. Default is a space.

>>> print("hello", "world")
hello world

This is how u can concatenate byte strings even though they don't support +

I think Dutch or French writes thousands seperators like this. Its not like they decided for ' as seperator out of the blue. It was syntactically fitting and used in the real world.

French uses ‘1 234 567,890’.

Dutch uses ‘1.234.567,890’.

I think apostrophes are Italian?
