print(10e-3)

Question

can anyone explain how this script?

Answer 1

print( 1e-3, 1 / 10 ** 3 )

The letter 'e' in 1e-3 represents exponent. If the number following the 'e' was positive, multiplication takes place. On the contrary, if the number following the 'e' was negative, division takes place instead.

1e3 equals to
1 * 10 ** 3
1 * 1000
=> 1000

1e-3 equals to
1 / 10 ** 3
1 / 1000
=> 0.001
