As a European programmer, the comma-period-decimal struggle is real.
Most higher level programming languages don’t accept commas, so decimals are started by a period, and thousands can sometimes (varies by language) be separated by underscores.
For example, these are all valid number notation:
1.000.0000011_000.001_000_0001_0_0_0_0_0_0.0_0
If you use the final one frequently, though, your employment may experience a period too.
Why so many zeros after the decimal point? Do you deal in 1/10 cents much?
European. Or maybe just a programmer…
