      Can you give some examples of the output you expect to see from a range of different inputs?

        example: Input: (user selects) 
                      2          e             -10
       (No. between 0-9) e (No. between 10 and -20)

        I want the output to be 0.0000000002 instead of 2e-10 I hope this helps...
