JavaScript Numeric Separators

Have you ever feel the pain of your eye when you try to read large numeric literals, If not try to read the following values.

const num = 1000000000000;

There is a feature in javascript that enables underscore as a separator in numeric literals to improve readability.

Example:

const num = 1_000_000_000_000;

You can also use this for binary, octal, and hex numbers.

const n1 = 0b1010_0101_1001; // binary
const n2 = 0o2_3_5_7; // octal
const n3 = 0xA_B_C_D_E; // hex

There is good support for this feature in recent versions of browsers. To check for the support visit https://caniuse.com/#feat=mdn-javascript_grammar_numeric_separators.

I hope this adds something to your knowledge and useful ✌.
