What do underscores in a number mean? [duplicate]

by

With Python 3.6 (and PEP-515) there is a new convenience notation for big numbers introduced which allows you to divide groups of digits in the number literal so that it is easier to read them.

Examples of use:

a = 1_00_00  # you do not need to group digits by 3!
b = 0xbad_c0ffee  # you can make fun with hex digit notation
c = 0b0101_01010101010_0100  # works with binary notation
f = 1_000_00.0
print(a,b,c,f)

10000

50159747054

174756

100000.0

print(int('1_000_000'))
print(int('0xbad_c0ffee', 16))
print(int('0b0101_01010101010_0100',2))
print(float('1_000_00.0'))

1000000

50159747054

174756

100000.0 

A = 1__000  # SyntaxError: invalid token
