My guess is 1*10 ^ -2 = 0.01

Visakh, I actullay meant 2E-3E, see my edited post :)

Agree with visakhm. My guess is also 2*(10^(-3)), so it will give result (if my guess is correct) 0.002

Nice little gotcha Madhivanan! :)

Though I have one doubt. Scientific form of number is nE[+|-]m, where n and m - numbers and if I'm not mistaken m should be integer number. In our case m is 3E and it is not integer. So my doubt is whether it will give error or it will consider E as column alias (more likely).

And my guess (though with some doubts) is 0.002 with column header E. Going to check it after posting this comment.

then its 2 * 10^-3=.002

simple 2E - 3E = 2 - 3 = -1

sanjaytpatel, thats wrong. You need to read the previous replies or execute and see what it returns
