RE: point, comma, semicolon confusion
Hello,
Coma (english) = virgule (french)... When I created the current Prime "Digit grouping" display system, I discovered how messed up the situation was word wide.. '.' vs ',' is just the tip of the iceberg... Some countries group by 3 digits, some by 4, some by 3, then groups of 2, some have a separator on the top (switzerland), some use different notations depending on the context (financial, non financial)... Some expect to enter the data in the same format as they see it, some expect to enter the data in a way, but see it in another.... All in all, a programmer's nightmare! Cyrille Although I work for the HP calculator group, the views and opinions I post here are my own. I do not speak for HP. |
