To answer your question literally: ( - 6 ) square equal That gives 36 I looked at windows calc, and it suffers from the same problem, just in different ways. If I hit: 6 + 5 square equal and that gives 31. What if I wanted (6+5)^2 and not 6+5^2? I checked my own, 10 year old hand held calculator, and it operates in yet another slightly different way, but I won't go into it.
I still think you should explain, with as much precision as you can, what you think is the best way things should happen, before this bug is filed upstream. -- gcalctool squared negative number gives a negative result https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
