Question 12.11

How can I print numbers with commas separating the thousands?
What about currency formatted numbers?


The routines in <locale.h> begin to provide some support for these operations, but there is no standard routine for doing either task. (The only thing printf does in response to a custom locale setting is to change its decimal-point character.)
