Decimal point
The decimal point is used to mark the boundary between the integer and the fractional parts of a decimal numeral. In most English speaking countries, a dot (.) is used as the decimal symbol. In many non-English speaking countries a decimal comma (,) is used instead. For numeral systems other than decimal, the analogous point is known as a radix point.Example usage:
- In the US: 1,234,567.89
- In France: 1 234 567,89 (digit groups are separated by space)
- In Germany: 1.234.567,89 (digit groups are separated by period)
