Description
Numbers equal to and larger than 1E16 but smaller than 1E21 entered in E-notation (exponential format) by instructors are converted to long format numbers in Calculated Numerical and Calculated Formula questions. Additionally, large numbers in normal format with more than 16 digits are not accepted and cannot be saved.
Steps to Replicate
Log into Blackboard Learn as an administrator
Create an Ultra View course
Navigate into the course and create a test
Create a Calculated Numeric question in the test
Add some text for the question entering the following value as the answer: 1E20
Save the question and observe the answer value
Observed Behavior:
100,000,000,000,000,000,000 is displayed - the numerical answer is not displayed in exponential format for large numbers below 1E21.
Expected Behavior:
The E-notation format is used when displaying numbers smaller than 1E21.
