PHP Exercise 1-3

You use the number_format() function when you want to format the appearance of a number. The number_format() function adds commas that separate thousands and determines the number of decimal places to display. You can pass two arguments to the number_format() function: The first argument represents the literal number or variable you want to format, and the second argument determines the number of decimal places to display. If you exclude the second argument, the number is formatted without decimal places.
