Scientific notation is express in 10's, not 20's.

Hehe. 20^30 would be 20 to the 30th power, not scientific notation. So technically, Tolbat's hate thread is number 1.073741824e+39, or so my calculator says

I realize that, but it appears that he was attemping to do scientific notation, as that is what is generally used to express large numbers.

(scientific notation
(thing) by /dev/joe (2 d) (print) ? Mon May 15 2000 at 17:53:08

A method of writing approximate forms of large numbers in which the magnitude is separated out of the number and expressed as a power of ten. For instance, 6.02 x 1023 is a short way of writing 602000000000000000000000.
Computers and some calculators often use a shorthand "e notation" for writing numbers in exponential notation in which the times sign and the 10 are replaced by a letter e (sometimes capitalized), so 6.02E23 for the number above. This is used in contexts where the superscript for the exponent cannot be produced. )

Now you already knew this, but what I'm trying to tell you is that he should have put it into scientific notation.

I so totally agree

**Palmero** · Nov 15th, 2002, 00:03:43

Oi.. this thread is about me, dont talk about engis

2^2 = 4 thats the way i meen 20^30 (but i dont know what 20^30 is)

**______________Yazule** · Nov 15th, 2002, 06:24:41

yes ... scientific notation is always A x 10^B

where A and B are numbers of your choosing

so 20^30 looks nothing to me like scientific notation due to the apparent lack of "X 10^" in it.

I am not an engineer in game, just in real life

**_________Crepuscular** · Nov 15th, 2002, 06:38:23

GEEKS!

you can thank geeks for the computer you use, the care you drive, the music that you hear, the close you wear, the light you see with, oh I could go on and on... pretty much everything in your life that is not emotional attachment you can atribute to geeks

**_________Crepuscular** · Nov 15th, 2002, 07:41:05

I agree with you....However those geeks aren't sitting here analyzing and discussing the "proper" mathmatical expressions for scientific notation.

BTW, yes, I am a self declared geek.

**lilnymph** · Nov 15th, 2002, 11:37:42

just to point out, it IS proper scientific notation, just it is in a non standard form.
