const amountIn = ethers.utils.parseUnits('0.01', 'ether') gives amountIn = 10000000000000000

Hello,

I'm trying to understand what's happening here...

when I declare a variable and call parseUnits:

const amountIn = ethers.utils.parseUnits('0.01', 'ether')

the result is:

tokenIn: 10000000000000000

Do you know why it is 10000000000000000 ?

Please help.

Thanks!
