    Hello,

    E-19 means "10 to the power of -19".

    which can be written as 10^(-19)

    Value: 0.0000000000000000001
    (19 zeros in total)

    What is well conceived is clearly stated,
    And the words to express it come easily.

      Hello

      Well, thank you for this clarification, far from my assumptions ;-)

      Well, to "apologize," it’s true that I’ve never used a calculator beyond the four basic operations and percentages… so I based myself on my assumption regarding the meaning of "E" = error… which was also a… mistake ;-)
