E notation in Floating point arithmetic
Hi
I want to know how to interpret the e notation in floating point computer arithmetic..
How many seconds is this number : 1.39683e-006
and this number ? 3.43409e-009. This seems to be 3.43409 nanosends .. but how do you convert ?
Which is bigger ?
Thanks

1.39683e-006 = 1.39683 * (10)^(-6) = 0,00000139683
3.43409e-009 = 3.43409 * (10)^(-9) = 0,00000000343409
Hope this helps
