Take the following amount:
I am looking for a term that describes the separation of dollars and cents. Of course there is a term that describes the character that does the job which most people would call decimal or period.
John, Adams, Male
This is a small comma-separated list of values. In this case, a comma separates the values "John", "Adams", and "Male". The comma is also called a delimiter.
Is there a term that describes the decimal point as a separator? Is it a separator?
