In K & B at the end of chapter 6


Output

> (123)<
>012,345<
>+12345 <
>false + -123<

I don't understand why >012,345<. Could you tell me why the comma is in that position. By Default?? If I don't specified the precision. it uses 3?

It's a comma for grouping thousands, not decimals. That's might be confusing you. It's this kind of comma:

123,456.78 or
1,234,567.89
