Trying to do this numbers challenge.
Using exponential notation, create a variable named "GermanyGDP" and assign the number 3.4 trillion (3400000000000) to it.
<script src="viewer.js"> </script>
I don't have a clue about that math language nor did they give any clues(that i noticed) in the lessons.
please help!

so one million 1,000,000 would be 1E6; because there are six spaces after the first number.
var GermanyGDP = 1E6;
So do the same with 3.4 trillion (3400000000000) = 3.4E?
