**UPVOTE is Highly Appreciated**\n\n# Intuition\nUsing float or double to record prefix, inspired by scientific notation\n\n# Approach\n1. keep `0.1 <= prod < 1.0`, so len(str`(int(product * 100000))) == 5`, just like scientific notation\n\n2. so we can easily get `prefix` via `prefix = str(int(product * 100000))`\n\n3...
