Fixes #1541

Fixes #1311

This Pull request addresses these following issues:

  1. Typing the most negative number by numpad not possible #1541

  2. Entering negative exponents in Scientific mode is not supported #1311

by Handling "Subtract" ("-") Binary operator as "Toggle Sign" ("+/-") in Special cases.

Description of the changes:

  • To solve Entering negative exponents in Scientific mode is not supported #1311, I modified IsGuiSettingOpCode method inside src/CalcManager/CEngine/CalcUtils.cpp to save IDC_EXP in CCalcEngine::m_nLastCom to check if next input is IDC_SUB (Subtract Operation) and also m_nLastCom is IDC_EXP so we can redirect this operation into IDC_SIGN (+/-) operation.
  • To Solve Typing the most negative number by numpad not possible #1541, I created a boolean flag CCalcEngine:m_bFlagSign to store, subtracting with zero as a "Toggle Sign" Operation (IDC_SIGN), so that the following digit inputs (the second operand) will be of negative sign, following is the piece of code from the pull request where the same is done.

                #1311 https://github.com/microsoft/calculator/issues/1311
            Solution:
                Consider the previous '-' Binary Op as a '+/-' sign value if
                the first opnd is 0.
        */
        if (m_bFlagSign)
        {
            wParam = IDC_SIGN;
            m_bFlagSign = false;
        }

I have not changed the UnitTests module to expect the new changes, because the Unit Test module was taking long to run on my PC, wasn't clear if they passed or failed, getting a black screen with two numbers, and I could not find a relevant test function that's testing these cases:

  1. 2.6e-2 = 0.026
  2. -128 input

I think that's why UnitTests x64 has failed.
