Hi, all ;

           I want to print  this sentence " The number in scientific
notation is 1.255000e+02".

         So   I write a perl script like this :
               #!/usr/bin/perl
                sprintf "The number in scientific notation is %e", 1.255;
           But  the screen output is "The number in scientific notation is
1.255000e+00"

I don't get anything when I execute that line. You must have used the printf function in your actual code.

1.255000e+00 is the correct scientific representation of the number 1.255. If you want to print 1.255000e+02, then you should print the number 125.5.
