Hi there im a 1 year electronics student in denmark which has this problem:

i have 2 values which i want to add (they are vairable) what i tourght i
could do was

text1.text = (example 0.0000004568 or 0.000000000100)
text2.text = (same example as above)
text3.text = result box
as you might have figured is that im trying to add forinstance 10pico(p)
with 1 micro(u)

CODE WHICH DOESNT WORK ???
text3.text = Val(text1.text) + Val(text2.text)

why do the above code doesnt work and what should i do ?
and how could i make the outcome in exponent for instance if the outcome is
0.0001 the it shoud read 1e-4 ??? how can i do this ?

Thanks alot for your reply !
