BUG: Calculator can't multiply numbers with more than 19 digits about flow.launcher HOT 5 OPEN

Just a user of Flow Launcher: Sure it is a bug but why would you do such calculations. 30000000000000000000*40000000000000000000

That was just one example. And this unlikely calculation might be an indication of a larger issue (possibly affecting even calculations that are more common, including one I shared above).

Hopefully that clarifies it, but also to answer to your question, I do tend to perform these calculations for various reasons, so I would also welcome support for scientific calculations to Flow Launcher. But that's to be raised in a different place.

@deefrawley Just a user of Flow Launcher: I think Flow Launcher calculator is using 64 bit int and as per google 64 bit int can store numbers from -9,223,372,036,854,775,807 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. So any number greater than 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 and smaller than -9,223,372,036,854,775,807 can cause the issue.

Update: This issue occurs even when directly typing the >19 digit number. Try typing "30000000000000000000" vs "40000000000000000000".

I'm not a core dev but my guess this is because the calc app is using 32 bit integer types which simply can't store large numbers. So either a larger bit integer data type is used or some sort of warning or error trap to let the user know.

In fact fumbling through the code here on Github, it could be the Math.Round function which seems to cast integers to 32 bit.
