Depends on if you mean to add them together, to multiply them together, or what.
10^18 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
10^-18 = 0.000000000000000001
10^18 + 10^-18 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.000000000000000001
(not enough space on the page)
10^18 * 10^ -18 = 10^0, or 1
The system of looking at powers of 10 is called scientific notation, and as you can see, it's a handier form of working with very large or very small numbers. Who wants to have to count all those zeros?

10^18 has 18 zeros after 10
and 10^-18 has 18 zeros before 1 and after the decimal.
