SUMMARY

The web-based scientific calculator at web2.0calc.com can read and display numbers in scientific notation format. Users discovered that to view large results, such as the multiplication of 20 raised to the power of 103, they need to press the equals sign twice. This functionality was not immediately obvious, and the instructions for using the calculator were not easily accessible.

Does anyone know if this scientific calculator

http://web2.0calc.com/

can read numbers in scientific notation format. If you multiply 20^103 you get a huge number and I can't read it because it's so huge.

Use Python:

>>> 20**103
