Decimal notation with E

[Former user]

In my version a number like 5e3 is OK, but 5e-3 uses 'e = 2.718...' and outputs 2.43656366. This is true for any number with negative exponent. However a result of a computation ending with a negative exponent is correct.

@teyut isn't this a duplicate of issue 627?

I see the same issue on Mac OS Mojave, it doesn't look like a duplicate of 627 to me.

It's been fixed in trunk already, so it should work with developments builds. There's none for Mac OS, so you'll probably have to wait for the next release (or build one by yourself).

BTW, about your bug description, it is (2e)-3 which is equal to 2,43656366, not (5e)-3.
