I understand that 6.50486612e-01 means 0.650486612. But how about 6.50486612e-001?
Are 6.50486612e-01 and 6.50486612e-001 the same value?
I did some search but didn't find clear answer so far. I hope to receive some useful comments. Thanks.

e-01 is an equivalent to 10^-01, so e-001 is an equivalent to 10^-001. since 01 equals to 001, or 0001, or 0000001, e-01 same as e-001 etc.
same works for e+ :)

In what context did you encounter such notation? On the first glance, it seems like ..e-01 and ..e-001 are absolutely the same, the only difference is that someone is expecting the exponent to be three-digit number that goes beyond ..e-099 at some point.

Thanks! So, it's most likely no more than just a notation of the statistical software you are using :) – Lev Pleshkov Feb 13 '23 at 08:26

Hmm. I wonder what 6.504e-010 is supposed to mean. I have no idea whether to interpret the exponent as octal or decimal. – Frank Yellin Feb 14 '23 at 02:50
