Expected Behaviour
I expect to receive a correct result or approximate answer when I use the exponent "^" function.
Actual Behaviour
Calculator incorrectly gives answer as zero(0).
How to Reproduce
- Download Simple Calculator app from fdroid store and install.
- Scroll through menu and launch app.
- Do a calculation involving exponent (Eg 5^40, 10^10) and gradually increase the exponent value by 50 or 100. At a point it will return answer as zero.
Recording of Bug
As you can see the raised up to(^) function works well. Until the multiplier number is significantly raised. The output reverts to Zero(0) which is incorrect.
At the very least it should give a decimal answer multiplied by 10power (Eg 123.45*e40) or state that the answer was too high.
I thought perhaps there was just a maximum number limit...
Multiplying with Simple Calculator v4.0.0
But when I multiplied high numbers and we can clearly see that the calculator can give high output exceeding 50 digits.
