Credo.Check.Readability.LargeNumbers (Credo v1.5.0) View Source

This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

Numbers can contain underscores for readability purposes. These do not affect the value of the number, but can help read large numbers more easily.

141592654 # how large is this number?

141_592_654 # ah, it's in the hundreds of millions!

Like all Readability issues, this one is not a technical concern. But you can improve the odds of others reading and liking your code by making it easier to follow.

Configuration parameters

  • only_greater_than: The check only reports numbers greater than this.
