Exactly. That is scientific notation. It is an acceptable format used by, for instance, C/C++/Java for text-based notation of floating point numbers. The 'e' stands for 'exponential notation', as in:
-2.000048x10^-006
'e' replaces the (x10^) notation.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
