See the discussion of #16011. Yes indeed. The advantage of using 964_218_442 is that a) I don't think there's actually a locale that uses this convention (but I may be wrong), and b) this is the form that Ruby uses in source. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18410: Proposal to make inspect include underscores on numerics https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18410#change-95389 * Author: brightbits (Michael Baldry) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- The documentation for inspect reads "Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of obj." but for large numerical values, while 964218442 is human-readable, 964_218_442 is a lot more readable. The language allows the use of underscores to make numbers more readable, so why should inspect not also honour this? Happy to provide a patch if this would be an acceptable change. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
