tyrogge2077yAaand that's why you need to learn about the cultures, as a dev, you're writing a software for. Let me give you more examples by writing the number "thousand". You can write 1000 or 1 000 or 1.000 or 1,000 or 1'000. Different culture, different representation.

Bikonja23867yJust in case...
Different countries also use different date formats, keyboard layouts and time zones. Among other things. -
@tyrogge I use 1000, 1 000 and 1,000... I'm clueless as to what's most used where I live
-
lo98be6187yWe normally use 1'000,00 and dd/mm/aaaa also, our keyboard has èàìòùé instead of ~ and stuff (we're homeless)
I'm Italian -
@lo98be a colleague of mine is from italy and I asked him about a few keys when I needed it. He tolf me he had it on the desktop. I was pretty confused but he had a few characters as filename on his desktop so he could copy it when needed...
-
@lo98be i have done that for characters as ëéöï, where the first two also are in the dutch language but while programming its annoying to use dutch layout so Im using the US one.
-
lo98be6187yThe Italian layout isn't the best for programming but it's ok and I'm too lazy to learn the US one without owning a US keyboard 😅
-
@lo98be the dutch keyboard is the same as the US one but the é is typed using " ' " and after that the "e" key. ë with a double quote(shift single quote) instead of a single quote. Opening strings with a eaiou would make a special version of these letters.

Xenon1917y@potatoCode Rs 100,000 legit but do we actually replace "." with "," ? Like, have you ever got 85,78 % in school ?
-
@Xenon I agreed with @leviwhalen mentioning about some countries usage of "," in currency. I think u misunderstood that..
