My question is short and not very hard. is 2.203226E0>0.0059867? In other words, can anyone tell me how to convert 2.203226E0 into a float without integer side?

E0 is a free ticket. It allows you to just throw off the scientific notation's exponent. This means that what you said at first is true. – Parcly Taxel Oct 20 '16 at 13:12
@ParclyTaxel Got it, imagine if it was E1. Then how to reform it? – lonesome Oct 20 '16 at 13:13

E1: shift the decimal point one place right, then throw off exponent. E-1 is the same, but shift the point one place left. In general, En shifts the dot n places right. – Parcly Taxel Oct 20 '16 at 13:15
@ParclyTaxel thus 2.203226E1 is equal to 22.03226? – lonesome Oct 20 '16 at 13:16
Yes. ${}{}{}{}$ – Parcly Taxel Oct 20 '16 at 13:18
@ParclyTaxel Care to send an answer so I make my question useful to the other audiences? – lonesome Oct 20 '16 at 13:19
A question can be useful, even if it is not answered. – Peter Oct 20 '16 at 13:24
But dont you think a question with no answer would attract much less users? – lonesome Oct 20 '16 at 13:26
Not necesssarily. For example, the questions I read are almost always not answered (with some exceptions). – Peter Oct 20 '16 at 21:33
