Python - Scientific Notation
About
Python uses a traditional programming notation for scientific fic notation.
The notation:
- <m>6.022e23</m>
denotes the value
<m>6.02*10^23</m>,
- <m>6.626e-34</m>
denotes the value
<m>6.626*�10^-34</m>.
Since Python uses limited-precision arithmetic, there are round-o ff errors:
>>> 1e16 + 1
1e16
