1No, `20000000` would be a bug. `2E-6` gives `0.000002`. It's just representing the number differently for readability, that's all. `2e-7` and `0.0000002` are the same numbers, why does it matter how the are *printed*? – Felix Kling May 22 '12 at 19:42

yes you're right 2e-6 would be .0000002.that was a typo.i know what are you talking about but why when x=2e7 it prints 2000000 but 2e-7 it prints out 2e-7. – sr t May 22 '12 at 19:52
