How can I create the mathematical number 1e6 in JavaScript?

Question

How do I create the number 1e6 with JavaScript?

var veryLargeNumber = //1e6

Answer 1

Here are some different ways:

var veryLargeNumber = 1e6;

var veryLargeNumber = 1.0e+06;

var veryLargeNumber = 1000000;

var veryLargeNumber = 0xf4240;

var veryLargeNumber = 03641100;

var veryLargeNumber = Math.pow(10, 6);

Answer 2

It is written the way you wrote it: var notVeryLargeNumber = 1e6.

Answer 3

Like you wrote above:

var veryLargeNumber = 1e6;//Equals to 1*10^6

Answer 4

This works just fine for me

var veryLargeNumber = 1e6;
console.log( veryLargeNumber );

outputs:

1000000

Answer 5

For the curious, I went on a little learning safari...

Although the E stands for exponent, the notation is usually referred to as (scientific) E notation or (scientific) e notation

...

Because superscripted exponents like 10^7 cannot always be conveniently displayed, the letter E or e is often used to represent "times ten raised to the power of" (which would be written as "× 10n") and is followed by the value of the exponent; in other words, for any two real numbers m and n, the usage of "mEn" would indicate a value of m × 10n.

Use exponential notation if number starts with “0.” followed by more than five zeros. Example:

> 0.0000003
3e-7
