This does look weird...

So I guess it's because the number overflows MAX. Like another problem I found in #28085 .

I think it is not a good idea to calculate hexademical numbers using float or double, just uint64_t would be fine.

Would have to use int64_t in order to get a negative result right, not uint64_t?

Consider that numbers start with "0x" should not be treated as negative value, maybe we should imporve this specific case first.

The original use case is that as a programer, I prefer use powertoy run instead of calculator provided by windows to calculate some hexademical or binary mathematical calculations. Because it's just more handy 😆 .

Hi, this has been worked on for the 0.78 development cycle. 😄
