Python - Scientific Notation

About

Python uses a traditional programming notation for scientific fic notation.

The notation:

  • 6.022e23

    denotes the value

    6.02*10^23

    ,

  • 6.626e-34

    denotes the value

    6.626*�10^-34

    .

Since Python uses limited-precision arithmetic, there are round-o ff errors:

>>> 1e16 + 1
1e16
