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.

You mean something like: print '%e' % (1e50)
1.000000e+50
....?

No, I mean given a big number, such as
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00, convert it into
scientific notation.

Exactly: the "%e" builds a ``scientific-notation" string from whatever
number you're formatting that way (big or small). You can also use %g
if what you want is fixed-point notation within a certain range and
scientific notations only for numbers OUTSIDE that range, as in:
print '%g' % 10**5
100000 print '%g' % 10**50
1e+50

It's the same. print "%e" % 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00

one would have assumed that someone who *prefers* to use scientific notation
for large numbers would in fact know that, but the usenet never ceases to sur-
prise me...

Thanks for your help, Alex, Roy and Jorge. I'm new to Python, and
programming in general, which might explain my lack of knowledge,
Fredrick.

I am using the std::setprecision function to format variables of type

For example

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!
