COMMENTS
Hexadecimal numbers containing no alpha digits other than a single "e", where the "e" is not the first or last digit (e.g., 3e12), may be misinterpreted as numbers in scientific E notation.
These numbers are especially troublesome when importing hexadecimal numbers from CSV files into Microsoft Excel.
These numbers can be written as 16^(i+1)a + 14*16^i + b where a and b are members of A102489 with a>0, b<16^i and i>0.
Numbers whose hexadecimal representation matches the regular expression [1-9][0-9]*e[0-9]+. - Eric M. Schmidt, Sep 28 2023

EXAMPLE
480_10 = 1e0_16 and 1e0 = 1 in E notation.
739_10 = 2e3_16 and 2e3 = 2000_10 in E notation.

if (foundE != NULL && //at least one e
hexRepresentation != foundE && //not the first digit
strpbrk(hexRepresentation, "abcdef") == foundE && //e is not first alpha
strlen(foundE) != 1 && //something after the e
strpbrk(foundE + sizeof(char), "abcdef") == NULL) //no alpha after the e
{
cout << n << "\n"; //output n
i++; //discovered an integer
