Making calculations with longer numbers? You can improve readability by using underscores (<code>_</code>) in numeric primitives:
<pre><code class="lang-js">// Hard to read:
Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000); // 337083

// Better
Math.floor(Math.random() * 1_000_000); // 337083

1_000_000 === 1000000 // true
</code></pre>
The underscore doesn't have to be placed where a comma would go - it can be used anywhere in the number except at the very beginning or end. Just a small way to improve your code and prevent errors!
