Float readFrom:'1e0.5' does not equal 1 * (10 raisedTo:0.5)

Float readFrom:'1e0.5'   print it ->1.0
1 * (10 raisedTo:0.5) print it -> 3.1622776601683795


What am I missing here?

thank you for your time.

Figured it out. PHP is a crap language.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Calculation#Operators,_numbers,_and_constants


*e between subexpressions *10^ * pow (10,..) *


The PHP definition states Powers of 10. I saw the "e" and assumed Floating
Point.


Did I mention PHP sucks?

Thank you for your time.
