Just like before, using `"e"` can help. If we'd like to avoid writing the zeroes explicitly, we could write the same as:

```js
let mcs = 1e-6; // five zeroes to the left from 1
let mcs = 1e-6; // six zeroes to the left from 1

not helpful. perhaps:

let mcs = 1e-6; // five zeroes to the left of 1 (to the right of the decimal point)

There is no such “up to the decimal point” condition here. Besides, literally after this sentence comes the following:

If we count the zeroes in 0.000001, there are 6 of them. So naturally it's 1e-6.

then fix that too:

If we count the zeroes in 0.000001, there are 5 of them after the decimal point. So naturally it's 1e-6.

(also note i edited first suggestion to specify to the right of decimal point, i figure you saw original through email or smt.)

```

If we count the zeroes in `0.000001`, there are 6 of them. So naturally it's `1e-6`.
