Program to find number with thousand separator in Python

Suppose we have a number n, we have to return this number into string format where thousands are separated by comma (",").

So, if the input is like n = 512462687, then the output will be "512,462,687"

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• res := n as string

• res := reversed form of res

• ans := a blank string

• for i in range 0 to size of res - 1, do

  • if i mod 3 is same as 0 and i is not same as 0, then

    • ans := ans concatenate ','

  • ans := ans concatenate res[i]

• ans := reversed form of ans

• return ans

Example (Python)

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

def solve(n):    res = str(n)    res = res[::-1]    ans = ""    for i in range(len(res)):       if i%3 == 0 and i != 0 :          ans += ','       ans += res[i]    ans = ans[::-1]    return ans n = 512462687 print(solve(n))

Input

512462687

Output

512,462,687
