It is the expected behaviour to get 1E16 if you type "*" "1" "0" "^", because
the "*" is an operator of equal precedence with /.
It is not the expected behaviour of the "*10^" key. This key has been in use
for decades on calculators (including kcalc) to enter numbers in scientific
notation without the need to surround them by braces. It is supposed to behave
like 3E8 in most programming languages:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float one=3E8/3E8;
printf("%f", one);
}
prints 1.000000 on the terminal, as it should.
I just installed gnome-calculator, I couldn't even find the "*10^" key.
