Given in the example above, it seems that for extremely large numbers, there is an "E" in the answer. This not documented in the user guide nor in the help gen command.

Perhaps you could specify somewhere on how to input large numbers?

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Yes you are right that it can tolerate up to many digits. I have no problems with that, I suppose it might be a limitation of how the numbers are printed?

However, the answer is still wrong. In the given question, 4.2624674e+17 should be the correct answer. So does that mean the way that the answer is processed is wrong?

Upon further digging, 9.223372036854776E15 seems to be the largest integer that Double can represent. Instead of using parseDouble() for this case, shouldn't a parseLong() or something similar be used? parseDouble() should only be used where decimals could occur in the result, for example the division operation only.
