Discussion

The following example creates a default Decimal.FormatStyle for the en_US locale, and a second style that never uses grouping. It then applies each style to an array of decimal values. The formatting that the modified style applies eliminates the three-digit grouping usually performed for the en_US locale.

let defaultStyle = Decimal.FormatStyle(locale: Locale(identifier: "en_US"))
let neverStyle = defaultStyle.grouping(.never)
let nums: [Decimal] = [100.1, 1000.2, 10000.3, 100000.4, 1000000.5]
let defaultNums = nums.map { defaultStyle.format($0) } // ["100.1", "1,000.2", "10,000.3", "100,000.4", "1,000,000.5"]
let neverNums = nums.map { neverStyle.format($0) } // ["100.1", "1000.2", "10000.3", "100000.4", "1000000.5"]
