title: 10e notation used with variables?
body: <p>I want to know how can I use the 10eX notation in python 2.7.9 with a variable. 
  In terms of literals 10eX gives (10^X).00000(floating point number).
  I want to use some variable instead of literal, however, and it does not work. 
  What syntactical change should I make if it is possible to do so or is there any other way to do so?
  Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <pre><code>T = int(raw_input())
  while T:
      N = int(raw_input())
      LIS = map(int,raw_input().split())
      num_lis, num = []*N, []*N
      low = int(10e+(N))
      high = int(10e+(N+1))
      temp, count = 0, 0
      for i in xrange(low,high):
          num_lis = [1]*N
          temp = i
          while temp!=0:
              r = temp%10
              num[high-1-i] = r
              temp=temp/10        
          for p in xrange[1,N]:
              for q in xrange(0,p):
                  if num[q]&lt;num[p]:
                      if num_lis[p]&lt;(num_lis[q]+1):
                          num_lis[p]=num_lis[q]+1
              if LIS[p]!=num_lis[p]:
                  break
              else:
                  count++
      print count
      T-=1

  <p>On running the interpreter I get error for-
