Why not just type 3.1E7 instead of the weird up arrow?
Every software calculator I could think of to try understands this notation, it's easy to say and copy-paste, and the unit is clear from the context the original number is in.
- saulpw 2y agoBecause that's still 2 numbers, complicating comparisons and arithmetic, and the more important number is at the end. If you could use e7.5 then that would alleviate the problems, but no software/language/calculator accepts this notation, and using a caret like ^7.5 is more evocative than the already very-overloaded "e".
