title: How to convert strings with billion or million abbreviation into integers in a list
body: <p>i have few string items which are the numbers with billion or million abbreviation in a list: </p>
  
  <pre><code>list = ["150M", "360M", "2.6B", "3.7B"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to use a syntax that could convert those string items into integers counted in thousands  (e.g 150M > 150,000, 3.7B> 3,700,000 ), thanks</p>
