arent u Tolbat??
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 saysOriginally posted by Megabio
Scientific notation is express in 10's, not 20's.

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.

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)
w00p w00p!!
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 would have to say that this is an typicall example of how an flame should not look like. You need to think things through and calm down before you try to write an flame... Im sorry but I would rate this flame with an 1. Aggression is to high, grammar and cursing isnt to well planned... Maybe he has an point somewhere in there but I dont even want to find it. - Centurion3

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 geeksOriginally posted by Crepuscular

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.

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