A number expressed in scientific notation is represented by its mantissa (a fraction) and its exponent (an integer). 1. Define a type sci_not_t that has separate components for these two parts. 2. Define a function scan_sci that takes from the input source a string representing a positive number in scientific notation, and breaks it into components for storage in a sci_not_t structure. 3. The mantissa of an input value (m) should satisfy this condition: 0.1 <= m < 1.0. 4. Write functions to compute the sum, difference, product, and quotient of two sci_not_t values. All these functions should have a result type of sci_not_t and should ensure that the result's mantissa is in the prescribed range. 5. Define a print sci function to display the function results in scientific notation. 6. Create a driver program to test your functions. Your output should be of this form: Values input: 0.25000e3 0.20000e1 Sum: 0.25200e3 Difference: 0.24800e3 Product: 0.50000e3 Quotient: 0.12500e3 A number expressed in scientific notation is represented by its mantissa (a fraction) and its exponent (an integer). 1.
