A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is: automatically underscore large numbers
I’d use it for this type of project: projects involving money
Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this:
can you read how many 0s this is? I didn’t think so
Here is an example design I’ve made:
1_000_000
I’ve seen something similar in another programming languages, it looks like this:
you can do this in a lot of programming languages I think, I know at least swift
Good idea
Ehhh I don’t think so
Maybe

That would be a good idea. I have the same problem most of the time (first)

I usually just count how many 0s I type in but I guess this could help a little

Yeah I am making a business simulator and I had to put waaaay to many zeros. This is a really good idea

Idk what the system is in the US but isn’t it smth like 4,000,000,000?
Maybe it could be that instead of underscores?

Instead of underscores, it could be “,” “.” or “-“

But it should be automatic so you can just type another zero and it would just go up a place

In France they put a space so it would be 4 000 000 000

That’s the whole point. Automatic spacing.
I’d personally prefer 400_000 instead of 400,000 because I feel as the underscores would be easier to read at a quick glance

I’d rather have it insert a small space that isn’t copyable

This is a pretty good idea actually, I like it!

Yeah I agree.
I like E’s idea too, but that may be harder to read than the _

Commas are common in the US, which is where hopscotch is based. So that’s probobly what would happen. Unless they decided to do it based on location, which I highly doubt will happen btw.

Do you mean scientific notation? Cuz that would be nice

Yes I know I live in the US. I don’t normally find commas being used in programming languages but rather underscores or spaces

Yeah, in Python you can type underscores for big numbers.

I most often see underscores/they are the easiest to read for me

In Sweden you actually sometimes just type it with no spaces or anything like 4000000000 etc
