by all rules there should be a period. The comma only works for words

It annoys me what's wrong here.

There is not a wrong or a right here, in English the "." is used as a decimal mark and the "," for thousands and so on, but in other languages like for example Italian and French the decimal mark is a ",". As you can read here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1566106/is-there-any-difference-in-mathematical-notations-between-french-and-english

French don't even use "." for thousands but they use a space, instead of the "." we use in Italian. We can't please everyone here because they all have different notation

What is your language ? The calculator changes the separator depending on the language of your phone

Yeah, there should be a setting for the user to choose between , and .!

The caltulator change the separator depending on the language of your phone

Looks like the setting is already available.

because it is common in programming languages to put dots at numbers, I think I'm right. Look at kotlin or dart, for example.

Darkempire78 commented 1 year ago

but that's because it is in English (the language of programming languages). The calculator adapts to the country
