Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix . 0.000001 or 1e-6 - it's microsecond. Better name for this variable 'mcs' or 'us'. 'mcs' easier to understand. --- 1-js/05-data-types/02-number/article.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/1-js/05-data-types/02-number/article.md b/1-js/05-data-types/02-number/article.md index 547204b5..a2d2c3eb 100644 --- a/1-js/05-data-types/02-number/article.md +++ b/1-js/05-data-types/02-number/article.md @@ -44,13 +44,13 @@ In other words, `e` multiplies the number by `1` with the given zeroes count. Now let's write something very small. Say, 1 microsecond (one millionth of a second): ```js -let ms = 0.000001; +let mсs = 0.000001; ``` Just like before, using `"e"` can help. If we'd like to avoid writing the zeroes explicitly, we could say the same as: ```js -let ms = 1e-6; // six zeroes to the left from 1 +let mcs = 1e-6; // six zeroes to the left from 1 ``` If we count the zeroes in `0.000001`, there are 6 of them. So naturally it's `1e-6`.
