Number suffixes

Package: ARITHMETIC_PACKAGE. Registered by createEngine(); for a slimmer engine, register it explicitly (see choosing packages).

A suffix is a single letter that stands in for a run of zeros, so a large round number can be written the short way people say it: k for thousand, M for million, B (or G) for billion, and T for trillion. The letter attaches to the number: 2.5k is 2,500, but 2.5 k with a space reads k as an ordinary name.

2.5k // 2,500
3M // 3,000,000
5B // 5,000,000,000
2T // 2,000,000,000,000
