Julia computations with large numbers showing results in the form of e raise to

New to Julia

I am beginner in Julia. I want to know when I give a multiple a large number with a decimal (or divide) suppose 45349632 * 0.4 , I get the answer as 1.81398528e7 which is correct but why is the value shown in this way when 45349632 can be displayed as such which is > answer itself. It seems to appear with computations… How can I get the value without decimal point and e. I tried multiplying the number with 10,100…but then that shows e8,9…

This means 1.81398528 * 10^7, the e is not the mathematical constant, it denotes that the number following is the exponent with 10 as base.

Ok I know that. My issue was that I wanted to set an array by indexing another array

  arr = features[i:0.4*n,1:8]    where n = 45349632.

The error showed was ERROR: ArgumentError: invalid index: 1.0. I wanted to get rid of the e raise and display the full value as such…Luckily I could fix it myself

  features[i:Int(0.4*n),1:8]

float times integer is a float and in Julia you can’t index with floats (into the standard arrays).

This works…

   julia> Int(25000 * 0.4)
  10000

   julia> Int(45349632/4)
  11337408

It is true when Int(45349632*0.4) is given

      julia> Int(45349632 * 0.4)
      ERROR: InexactError()
      in convert(::Type{Int64}, ::Float64) at ./float.jl:656
      in Int64(::Float64) at ./sysimg.jl:66

is shown…

You can round to the nearest integer with round(Int,x)

Or 45349632 ÷ 4 (typed as “45349632 \div tabulator 4”)
