Question

Im trying to put in this value in python:

dollar = 1.000.000
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It is accepting the first dot but not the second dot, why?

Answer 1

To separate sections of your literal number like this you can use the _ underscore
So, for instance, 1 million can be represented like;
mil = 1_000_000
print(mil) # 1000000
The use of a . (dot, period, decimal) signifies that the number is a floating point value and only 1 dot may be used in its literal representation.

Answer 2

Odnantiev because Python thinks dots signify floats! For integers, don't use dots! Just use 1000000 :)

Also, if you use 1.000 Python will think you mean 1!

Hope it helps! Happy programming :)
