    It's Maxwell Speak for the number one, "this +1". It's scientific notation, instead of ^ E is used to indicate exponent. Work it out, one times itself twelve times is still one. He sneaky but me smart... smart enough to look it up. (;->)

    Negatory good buddy. 1E+12 is scientific notation for 1 times 10 to the 12th power. So in this instance it is a trillion.

    Also if you have a spreadsheet program you can do this instead of zeros.

    Uh uh, the notation was 1E12, not 1E+12 so penalty, penalty, send you back to factory. (;->)

    Same thing. Try it on the spreadsheet. "+" isn't necessary except to assure that it is not "-".

    1e12 = 1e+12 = 1E12 = 1E+12 = 1,000,000,000,000.

    Sorry.
