I got the 5.5e-17 number and was able to copy but not paste to round it.

I input the floats 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 - 0.3 which gave me the e-17 number. When i put round ( ) and then copied and pasted the number into the function, it did not give me the option to paste. When I try to ctrl + c or ctrl + v, i got an error message KeyboardInterrupt.

I struggled with the same problem. I am using Windows 10 and Chrome browser.

How I managed to paste:

  1. Highlight the word to copy
  2. Right click > Copy
  3. Right click on the TITLE BAR of the window, from there you should see the PASTE option.

Just make sure your text cursor is already where you want to paste it.

Hope this helps!

What do you mean by title bar? I am trying this all over the place on my Win10 Chrome window and not seeing this title bar or paste option.

"Right click on the TITLE BAR of the window, from there you should see the PASTE option." I cannot find the 'title bar' on Win10 Chrome, and googling what it was resulted in nothing. I have right clicked on all other places on the screen that I thought may or may not be the 'title bar' and have yet to see a paste option. What can I do?
