What Jamie wrote

Another of these great explorations of the edge cases of writing software. This is a fun dive into all the various ways that computers "approximate" numbers and even the more complicated issue of numbers that cannot be expressed completely like π. After reading this I’m now going to cede that the Android calculator app may be pretty cool. 😁

Sadly I did the same test with my preferred calculator app PCalc and it also got the (10^100)+1-(10^100) solve wrong.
