Show 10^-24 instead of 0 when 10^-24 is entered.
This comes from documentation feedback. Python can also do this but I'm not sure if this is even possible with normal floating point arithmetic.

Hi Kai.

Thanks for your interest in reporting the bug. This is a result of the rounding-off performed by Calculator on the answer.

If you are interested in precise answers, I suggest switching the "Number Format" to scientific, or increase "Number of decimals" to something higher (at least 24 in this example).
