Underscores in numeric literals

[ghost]

Problem

this code does not compile:

fn main() {
    let xs = 1_000;
}

error: Expected a ; separating these two statements
  ┌─ hello/src/main.nr:2:14
  │
2 │     let n = 1_000;
  │              ----
  │

Happy Case

using underscores in numeric literals can make code more readable and help developers better understand and work with large numbers

fn main() {
    // Integer literals with underscores
    let one_million = 1_000_000;
    let ten_million = 10_000_000;
    let one_billion = 1_000_000_000;

    // Floating-point literals with underscores
    let pi_approximation = 3.14_15;
    let avogadros_number = 6.022_140_76e23;

    // Binary literals with underscores
    let binary_value = 0b1101_0101_1010_1101;

    // Hexadecimal literals with underscores
    let hex_value = 0x1A3B_7FFF;
}
