euler's identity is calculated incorrectly

[iblamefish]

I was showing off Alfred to a friend and proving that it was better than spotlight. I typed 

=e^(i*pi)

and was surprised and impressed that it actually did a calculation. But the result was 1, where it should be -1.

I've done some further testing, and it may not have done any calculation at all

 

=e

returns 0.

To get the value of "e" you may want to type   =exp(1)

 

The imaginary number "i" is not supported in Alfred 4.

You can visit the calculator settings here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/calculator/

 

If you want to use the math libraries of python (math, numpy) you can use this workflow:

Then,

 

pt    e**(1j*pi)            Gives:   (-1+1.2246467991473532e-16j)

pt real(e**(1j*pi))     Gives -1. 

 

 NOTE: 

1. In python 1j is imaginary number 1i. 

2. In python power operation is **
