Prevent scientific notation

66 New Member
Let's say I want to echo ".00002". PHP likes to echo "2.0E-5" instead. How would I have it print .00002 instead?

Look these functions : number_format or sprintf at php.net, for example

I am using the std::setprecision function to format variables of type double in a string however I am unsure how to stop this appearing in scientific notation. For example std::stringstream buffer; buffer << setprecision(1) << 40.0 << "° C";

I have some values in type of double such 0.00009 , 0.0000007, when I want to show them in a text box and convert them to string they are changed to scientific notation while I want to show them as they are. I tried to use tostring("f") but it needs to have a precision number after *f* which will cause always have fix number of characters (for example if use f10 then 0.09 is converted to 0.09000000 while I need to show it as 0.09). do...

Well, the project I am working on has now come to a screeching halt! I have been developing a program that heavily utilizes ADO.NET record sets. To generate reports, I convert the recordset to XML, and then apply an XSLT to transform the XML into HTML. This works great (or did) until today. I just found out that the "number-format" command in XSLT can't handle scientific notation! So when I try to format these numbers I just get "NaN" on...

I am working on an application that requires working with numbers in scientific notation. I am using SqlServer as the database and I have created strongly typed data adapters and datasets. The numbers are defined as numeric in the SqlServer Database and are bound to text boxes in the app. In the dataset xml these numbers are defined as decimal. I am using the binding method Format to display the data in scientific notation and Parse to...

How can I get a number into scientific notation? I have a preference for the format '1 E 50' (as an example), but if it's well known, it works.

Hi all, Math is not my strongest area so forgive me if I use some of the wrong terminology. It seems that scientific notation is immune to rounding errors. For example: (4.98 * 100) + 5.51 // returns 503.51000000000005, rounding error! 4.98e2 + 5.51 // returns 503.51, correct!

I have a DataSet that contains a table with about 6 columns of high accuracy decimal values. When I try to write out the DataSet using the WriteXML() function the XML is written fine, but the decimal values are written out in scientific notation ("9.984348392E+08"). This wouldn't be a problem except when I try to READ the XML file back into a DataSet I keep getting a System.FormatException saying "Input string was not in a correct format."...

Textbox on report displays year (1991) in scientific notation if I raise the font size in that control to above 16 points. It seems Access 'thinks' 1991 is too big to display properly in the control, so it reverts to displaying the value in scientific no- tation (rather stupidly from my standpoint). I don't want that but it seems I can do nothing about it. Any suggestions. Report's RecordSource is a query and this IS a bound control.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
