Convert output to Standard Scientific Notation #402

Closed MrMineev closed 8 months ago

MrMineev commented 10 months ago

I can't find how to convert the output to scientific notation. Is there a way to do this?

I tried adding the -> 10^2 unit. However, this didn't work; here is an example of what I mean:

>>> Mass = 100 kg

  Mass = 100 kg

>>> Mass -> 10^2 kg

  Mass ➞ 10^2 × kg

   = 100 kg

I was dealing with very small values, it would be helpful to be able to output them in scientific notation.
