What does this expression thing mean?
When I see a table that it showing data types, I get down to float, double and long double. Then on the typical range column it says something like: +/- 3.4e +/- 38 (~ 7 digit) And I'm like what the hell does that mean? I've see 'e' at the end of a number when I calculate ridiculous large numbers in a calculator.
It means "multiplied by ten to the power of".
1.3e7 = 1.3 x 10^7 = 1.3 x 10000000 = 13000000
1.3e-7 = 1.3 x 10^(-7) = 1.3 x 0.0000001 = 0.00000013
1.3e7 = 1.3 x 10^7 = 1.3 x 10000000 = 13000000
1.3e-7 = 1.3 x 10^(-7) = 1.3 x 0.0000001 = 0.00000013

Oh, I wish it would just say that in the first place because that I understand.
Thanks anyway :D
