Periods and Commas in Numbers () ()
The HP 35s uses both periods and commas to make numbers easier to read. You
can select either the period or the comma as the decimal point (radix). In addition,
you can choose whether or not to separate digits into groups of three using
thousand separators. The following example illustrates the options.
