printf output with commas

I want to output a number using the printf function in the following way:

1,000,000.00.

Essentially, I would like a number with commas.

I can't find it anywhere in the printf documentation. does someone have a solution or do I need to make a custom function. J

Well, since you didn't include the language you are using, I am assuming you're using C.

In short, it is not included in the C printf function, but it shouldn't be too hard to make. Either look around for a library that allows it or roll your own.

If you roll your own, just figure out the length of the number, and insert the commas at the right places.
