Stefan-Boltzmann constant to C#

[EFileTahi-A]

How can I transform this number (Stefan-Boltzmann constant):

5.6704 x 10-8.

to a C# compatible number? :confused:

 

Is it 5.6704E-8?

Assuming that the -8 is an exponent, yes. Those are two different ways of representing scientific notation, the former generally used in mathematics, the latter generally used with computers and calculators. The E is shorthand for "times ten raised to the power of", so 5.6704 × 10⁻⁸ is the same as 5.6704E-8. Edited November 19, 2011 by snarfblam

Thank you very much! What would I do without you? :D
