The differentiation is neither "digits" nor "significant figures". 10000 throws the "invalid input" error, while 0.00000001 does not. Both of these numbers have exactly one significant figure, and the latter clearly has more digits.
- psyklic 8y agoIt seems that 0.00001 gives "Invalid Input", but 0.00000001 works. EDIT: Strangely, now all inputs seem to work, even 0.00001 and even when I restart the calculator. Not sure why ...
- MrEldritch 8y agoJust tried again - .00001 works for me, but .43407 still doesn't...
- psyklic 8y agoConfirmed, on mine .43407 gives "Invalid input". I was getting "Invalid input" earlier for 0.00001 and 0.00003 (the first two examples I tried), but now they seem to work. EDIT: Manually typing in 10, the x^y button, then 0.43407 also gives "Invalid input".
- romwell 8y agoSomeone in the comment thread suggested that perhaps the decimal point is ignored altogether, and some inputs get rejected as being too large. If that is true, then 0.00001 is being tread the same as 1, but 12345 and 0.12345 are both considered being "too large". FWIW, I can't reproduce the bug with my current Windows build (1703 / 15063.296).
