Correct.

what is d?

D or d specifies that this literal is a double value. In contrast, use f or F for float values.

And is .11 the resultant value of 1.1e-1?

And in case of float it is compulsory for us to use
F or f.............

This is correct. Since it is optional there is no problem using it too right

1.1e-1 means: 1.1 times 10 to the power of -1 = 1.1 * 0.1 = 0.11
