i did the following:

print(-3.3999999521443642*math.exp(38))

Python understands this representation directly.

x = 44e10
print (x)
440000000000.0

It is just an elegant way to represent big numbers in a compact way.

print(a)

Python supports the scientific notation just as you stated in your question with e in the number:

>>> a=-3.3999999521443642e+38
>>> print(a)
-3.3999999521443642e+38
>>> type(a)
<class 'float'>
