Formatting of float types

Question

I did a little research before I asked, can you tell me why it doesn’t show 2,500 on the way out, but 2.5

salario=float(input("Digite seu salario"))

print(salario)

Answer 1

Because 2.5 equals 2,500, just take the test:

print(2.5 == 2.500)

Will return True

The point is used as separate from the "floating point", That is why it is called "floating point", then the right zeros are deleted, the same occurs with calculators.

Now if your goal is to use , as separator and points as thousand separators the story is another, would have to use replace, for example:

x = '2.500,01'
x = x.replace('.', '').replace(',', '.')
x = float(x)
print(x)

If you have R$ in the string passed use:

x = 'R$ 2.500,01'

x = x.replace('R$', '') # remove o R$
x = x.strip()           # remove espaços em branco
x = x.replace('.', '')  # remove os pontos
x = x.replace(',', '.') # troca  virgula do decimal por ponto

x = float(x)
print(x)
