[Bug 1210607] Re: Scientific Notation not given proper order of operations
The problem is 1*10^2 is treated at two separate numbers or tokens. In scientific notation 1e02 is treated at one token. Thus 1e02/1e02 = 1 but 1*10^2/1*10^2 = 1*10^4 Hope this clarifies. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-calculator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210607 Title: Scientific Notation not given proper order of operations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-calculator/+bug/1210607/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1210607] Re: Scientific Notation not given proper order of operations
Which calculator would do what you described? I just checked a few ones and didn't find any. I'd be surprised a lot, to be honest, because that'd be wrong and I probably would've gotten a very wrong result at some point because I rely on calculators having implemented the correct order of operations. Every school or university teaches that multiplication and division have the same precedence (modulo may or may not be on the same level, mostly depending on the notation) and are calculated from the left to the right. So 8*10^12/6*10^9 = 8*(10^12)/6*(10^9) = ((8*(10^12))/6)*(10^9) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-calculator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210607 Title: Scientific Notation not given proper order of operations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-calculator/+bug/1210607/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
