Bug ID: 93983
Summary: Calculation error with -x^y
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: donots...@fastmail.fm
=-x^y is calculated as (-x)^y whereas it should be -(x^y)
Eg. -7^2 = -49 but is displayed as +49.
This may be the result intended by a user entering such a formula, but it is
inaccurate - a calculator and Google both give the correct result of -49.
FYI gnumeric also displays +49 as the result but changes the formula in the
background to =(-7)^2
