Numeral Parsing

Pluto makes two small changes to numeral parsing.

Cosmetic Underscores​

You can add underscores to your numeric literals to make them more readable.

Example Code
local n = 10_000_000
assert(n == 10000000)

These underscores are ignored by the compiler, so they are purely cosmetic.

Binary Integers​

Similar to how Lua allows you to input numbers in hexadecimal:

Example Code
local n = 0x420
assert(n == 1056)

Pluto allows you to input numbers in binary as well:

Example Code
local n = 0b1000101
assert(n == 69)
