title: What does 8.309618000000001D-02 mean in QBASIC
body: <p>I have a QBASIC program that basically consists of formulas and constants, and I want to translate the formulas and constants into a C++ programm. Since the formulas are not rocket science and the program is well documented, I have no problem translating the program, although I have not used or seen QBASIC before.</p>
  
  <p>However, there is an initialization of a variable that reads <code>abc(15) = 9.207134000000001D-02</code>, and I am not sure how to interpret the <strong>D-02</strong>. I <em>guess</em> I should translate it like <code>abc[15] =0.09207134....</code>, but I'd like to verify if this is correct.</p>
