Additional comments from fst Mon Jan 12 03:01:36 -0700 2004 are correct: There
isn't any wrong math. handling in OOo, but bay bne we have an EXCEL import
problem.
Mathemathical handling for first:
OOo has an intelligent and correct way to handle those mathematical expressions.
Result of input '=-2^4' can't be anything else than (-2)^4! Here the '-' can't
be anything else than an algebraic sign, interpretation as a subtraction
operator for '-(2^4) is completely useless like a mathematical expression '/3',
you always would have to ask "what divided by three" or "what should be reduced
by (2^4)".
So OOo's interpretation "-2^4 = 16" is completely correct.
Now insert a '1' in front of '-2^4' in your spreadsheet cell, so that you
get'=1-2^4'. Result changes to '-15', and that also is completely correct, the
'-' can't be anything else than a subtraction operator; a mathematical therm
with interpretation as algebraic sign "=1(-2)^4" is no valid therm.
So there doesn't exist any mathematical problem.
'Additional comments from lcn Tue Jan 13 01:09:17 -0700 2004' told us that EXCEL
2002 has the same result as OOo, so we do not have an open-import problem.
If someone will find out, that there is an open import problem for EXCEL97, a
new open import problem should be opened.
I close this issue INVALID and opened a new Issue 66735 concerning an
alternative way of notation.
