If the computer allows use of the eponent symbol, then use that where appropriate, e.g. A x 10^B. Some computers have a system whereby only the two important numbers need to be entered.
You can use websites like Wolfram Alpha, Scientific Calculator, or OnlineConversion to look up scientific notation. Simply enter the number in scientific notation and these websites will provide you with the equivalent decimal representation or vice versa.
Press mode, highlight SCI and press ENTER. The calculator is now in scientific notation mode. Press 2nd quit. Now, if you do a calculation such as 1234 x 5678, the answer will be in scientific notation. (In this case, 7.006652ᴇ6, which stands for 7.006652 x 106)
Round a number to a quantity of significant figures that you provide. Enter whole numbers, real numbers, scientific notation or e notation.
First of all, you have to have a scientific calculator, one that supports scientific notation. (As far as I know, all scientific calculators do.) The scientific calculator should have a special key labelled something like EXP. To input (for example) 2.3 million, you would type 2.3 EXP 6 (where EXP is short for "times 10 to the power...").
Depending on what you do for a living would determine how you would use it. I mainly use scientific notation as a shorthand when keying large numbers into a spreadsheet. Instead of typing a 2 with 6 zeros for 2 million, I can just type 2e6 and hit enter. Less chance for error, having to count the zeros.

Depending on the calculator, the button may be labeled "E", "EE", "ENG", or "EXP"

You can enter it in Excel as 6E15 (the number has 15 0s. The scientific notation for the number is 6*1015 but to enter that in Excel you have to enter "=" first, and the exponent, 15, is preceded by ^. So the whole string that you need to enter is "=6*10^15"

The dot notation is important point in coding language. This is a sentence which contains the word notation.
If you have a scientific calculator, there should be a key to input numbers in scientific notation. This key may be labeled "E" (uppercase E - the lowercase "e" means something different) or "Exp". In this case, press 1, EXP, 12 (meaning, 1 x 1012).
There is no computer code to enter.
There are many ways to enter a computer, but what do you mean by crack something ?-)
Scientific notation lets us express a large or a small number without having to write a lot of zeros before or after it. Many constants in physics, for example, are too cumbersome to write without scientific notation. It is easy to make mistakes (in the number of 0s) and you would not be able to enter them into your calculator. For example: Avogadro's constant: 6.022*1023 Planck's constant: 6.626*10-34 Joules second etc.
