No, no one is answering the question I tried to ask. Sorry if I was unclear.
I am NOT asking "what is the difference between kilo and kibi?" or "is it right to refer to 1024 as 1K?" or anything like that. I am asking what you CALL that KIND of notation. If my program outputs numbers as 1234 and 4560000 but your program outputs the same values as 1.234K and 4.56M, what would you call the *format* that your program uses? Your program outputs numbers in ______ notation. Mine OTOH outputs numbers in _____ notation. Perhaps "powers of 1000 notation." Any term more compact than that that could be used as a control statement option?
