Problem Description

If you try to use a calculation that results in a very small number, the calculator will return a rounded result as seen in the picture or 0.

Would recommend to introduce Standard Form notation to solve this issue. Would also recommend to add an option to select the number of Sig Figs or Decimal points to represent the result.

To Reproduce

1. (6.610^-34)(710^14)-(8.410^-20) - Type this in the query

uh, it looks like the query string was formatted by the markdown syntax.. Here it is again: (6.6*10^-34)*(7*10^14)-(8.4*10^-20)

I don't think we can solve this. It is a precision problem, and the alculator plugin use a numerical lib but not a symbolic lib. So It is expected that we will have issue like this.
