number splitter

Splits numbers with commas to make them more readable. Thanks to @maettig for being awesome

function(n){
return //return
(""+n) //the number converted to a sting
.replace(/\B(?=(...)+$)/g,",") //with a comma inserted every 3 characters
}
//simple version:
function(n){return(""+n).replace(/\B(?=(...)+$)/g,",")}
//Does not fuck decimals up version:
function f(a,b,c){return b||(c?a+',':a+'').replace(/(\.\d*)|\d(?=(\d{3})+\b)/g,f)}

What about saving 2 bytes with split?

function(n){return''+(''+n).split(/\B(?=(?:...)+$)/)}
