That's the nerd way of inputting it via synthetic operators to save some valuable nibbles: you cannot just type it from the keyboard.

It may be for nerds, but the purpose is that E runs very slightly faster than 1. They have the same byte count. With a number in the exponent, you save a byte and some small execution time.

As mentioned, if in doubt, just type 1.

I know Håkan, I know (just don't know exactly how much faster it is), I didn't want to confuse the matter too much, just offer an alternative. But you explained it very well.

Oh, and "nerd" was in italics...
