Assigning exponential values to a decimal variable

mehroz

Can anyone tell me how to assign "exponential" values to a decimal variable.

I want something like:

myDecimalVar := 1e10 ;

Thanks

You can create function to perform this and use it in this way (pseudocode used):

  Function E(Param:Integer):Decimal
  Begin
     Result := 1;
     for I := 1 to ASB(Param) do
       if Param < 0 then
         Result := Result / 10;
       else
         Result := Result * 10;
    Exit(Result);
  End;


....
   myDecimalVar := 1*e(10) ; 
....
