Bug ID: 155896
Summary: Libre Calc does not do the PEMDAS functions correctly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I type in the following equation "20/2(7-2)" Libre Office changes it to
"20/2X(7-2)". In THIS case, it adds another multiplication function to the
equation. That creates the WRONG answer because it changes the PEMDAS Order. In
PEMDAS, ALL of the Parenthesis's functions MUST be completed, PRIOR to
finishing the equation.
SO, If you have:
20/2(7-2)=
20/2(5)= (MUST FINISH THE PARENTHESES!!!)
20/10=
2
You do NOT go:
20/2(7-2)=
20/2(5)=
20/2X5= NOT!!!!!
so it will NOT go
10X5= WRONG!!!!
Actual Results:
20/2(7-2)=
20/2X(7-2)= YOU DO NOT Add a multiplication step to the formula!
20/2X5=
20/2X5= NOT!!!!!
so it will NOT go
10X5= WRONG!!!!
Expected Results:
20/2(7-2)=
20/2(5)= (MUST FINISH THE PARENTHESES!!!)
20/10=
2
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I am not sure why, but even when I use Microsoft Scientific Calculator, it puts
in the extra step.
