 let billion = 1000000000;

-But in real life, we usually avoid writing a long string of zeroes as it's easy to mistype. Also, we are lazy. We will usually write something like `"1bn"` for a billion or `"7.3bn"` for 7 billion 300 million. The same is true for most large numbers.
+We also can use underscope `_` as the separator:
 
-In JavaScript, we shorten a number by appending the letter `"e"` to the number and specifying the zeroes count:
+```js
+let billion = 1_000_000_000;

+Here the underscore `_` plays the role of the "syntactic sugar", it makes the number more readable. The JavaScript engine simply ignores `_` between digits, so it's exactly the same one billion as above.

 Now let's write something very small. Say, 1 microsecond (one millionth of a second):
