It looks like scientific notation. Saves space over writing the two numbers as -0.0000349991 and -0.00000200048 respectively. Just saves having to write out a lot of zeros for very large or very small numbers.

ahh yes excellent observation

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.

Nobody notes the irony that -0.0000349991  and -3.49991e-005 are exactly the same number of characters? Chuckle. I'm a programmer so this is funny to me. Sorry.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

So much for saving space, huh? ;)
