| The snippet defines the transfer amount in the `xem` variable, loaded from the `XEM_AMOUNT` environment variable. |

The code assumes that XEM_AMOUNT is an integer, so the text should mention it.

Good catch. I'm replacing it with a float since that seems like a common use case (e.g. transferring 1.5 XEM).
| Instead of floating with network demand, NEM uses a fixed, published schedule, so the fee can be calculated in | ||

| For an XEM transfer, the fee depends only on the amount being sent: |

Ugh, I had no idea!
We definitely need to explain this in the Textbook, in a section about fees.
You can just move this description there and link it from here. And add the message cost, I guess.
And the regular transactions page in the Textbook also needs a section about fees :(

Agree, and it gets way more complex when transferring non-XEM mosaics. I'm updating the textbook with all those learnings.

Adapts the transfer transaction tutorial to NEM.
Note: We'll have a separate one for transferring mosaics.
