There's nothing in the help that describes this situation but a look at the equation parser in the source would seem to agree with the described behaviour.
In this case 48÷2(9+3) is equivalent to 48÷(2x(9+3)) i.e. the precedence of the multiplication is raised in this situation. This is the same as some TI calculators (TI-80/81/82/85). Later calculators changed the order of calculation to make implicit and explicit multiplication the same. The choice here appears to be between explicitly mentioning this order of evaluation in the help or change the precedence in the code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756277 Title: Incorrect Evaluation Order for Implied Multiplication -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
