Enhance Integer Parser: Embrace Scientific Notation

2025-08-11

This article proposes an improvement to integer parsers to support scientific notation (e.g., 1E9 for one billion). The author argues that current integer parsers often reject inputs like "1E9," making entering large integers cumbersome. By allowing parsers to recognize and handle scientific notation, inputting large numbers can be simplified and made more efficient. The article also discusses potential compatibility issues with this improvement and how to address them.
