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.

pluto
local n = 10_000_000
print(n) --> 10000000

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

Binary & Octal Numerals

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

pluto
local n = 0x2A
print(n) --> 42

Pluto allows you to input numbers in binary and octal as well:

pluto
local n = 0b101010
print(n) --> 42

pluto
local n = 0o52
print(n) --> 42
