Crashes when calculating huge numbers and then using any operation

[AlexanderFL]

How to replicate

1. Continuously raise a number to some power
2. Result of the operation is too big, "unknown error occurred" is displayed (result is infinite)
3. Try to use any operation after that without clearing the screen and the app crashes (fx. - 1)

Expected result
Most important is that the app shouldn't crash, and instead maybe display the latest valid result

the attachment is invalid, what do you mean by huge numbers?

[AlexanderFL]

Odd, link seems to work fine for me. By huge numbers I mean like the result from 9^9^9 which has roughly 400 million digits

[tibbi]

oh man, dont expect having support for such numbers, this is not a superscientific calculator

[AlexanderFL]

I'm aware that this is a silly use case, but still think that the app shouldn't crash from the results

[AlexanderFL]

The issue itself is not that that the number itself is huge, it's when the result of the operation is infinite (in the eyes of the computer), the input isn't updated. So next time when a user inputs any arithmetic operation, getSecondValue() is not trying to parse a non-float to a float resulting in the crash. I have a fix ready if you're interested

try upgrading to 5.6.1 if you can still reproduce it

[AlexanderFL]

this is present in version 5.6.1 as well

sure, just send the fix with a pull request if you have it. Thanks
