Question

I’d like to know what the 2e+08 format in programming means?
I have some data related to project budget. How to convert it into integer in Java ?

Answer 1

2e+08 means 2 multiplied by 10^8. In other words, 2 followed by 8 zeros:

2e+08 = 200000000

To convert it to an int we can simply cast:

int n = (int)2e+08

All of the following are equivalent in Java: 2e+08, 2e08, 2e8, 2E+08, 2E08, 2E8.
