this

Code:

alert(2*10e-11);

alerts: 2*10e-10

?

Code:

1e2 = 1 * (10 ^ 2)

Basically, the e already includes the 10 in the times part.

In your example,

Code:

2*10e-11 
   = 2 * 10 * (10 ^ -11)
   = 2 * (10 ^ (-11 + 1))
   = 2 * (10 ^ -10)
   = 2e-10

   (which is what js alerts)

Yes...it's correct

...This means that 10 is raised to the power of -11 which is 0.0000000001

The output above is exactly the same as:

Code:

alert(2*0.0000000001);

Edit: Trinithis types fastly as the chimpanzee

The question is . . . do chimpanzee's type fast?
