Incorrect Exponent Calculation

[thisUserX]

Describe the bug

Calculating 2^2^2^2 produces 256 as the answer. The correct answer should be 65536. Order of operations dictate that the highest exponent should be calculated first as if there were parenthesis like (2^(2^(2^2))).

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to calculator
2. enter 2^2^2^2
3. See incorrect calculation of 256

Expected behavior

This should be calculated properly as 65536

There is no mistake. Every result of the calculator is defaulted to be enclosed in parentheses.

There is a difference between the Standard calculator which handles each calculation in isolation, and the Scientific calculator which uses the order of operations
