All,

How to format string add commas at thousands position, and hundred
thousands position

Example 1: I have string s = "1001"; or could be a random number I want
the output to be 1,001.

Example 2 : I have string s = "1000001"; or could be a random number I
want the output to be 1,000,001.

Thanks in advance

You can use the "N" format specifier.
