(fixed typo) How about range(10**6) ?
Both 1e6 (if it worked in the example) and 10**6 both require a bit of work (at least for my non-mathematician brain) to decode as "1 million", whereas with 1_000_000 you're not so much counting the zeros in your head as counting the *groups* of zeros visually. For me it's much more readable at a glance. Also, obviously the 10**6 trick doesn't work so well if the example is: for i in range(47_284_345): pass Matt
