Public bug reported: Implicit multiplication appears to have higher precedence than division:
6/2(1+2) = 1 However no other calculator does that - implicit multiplication should be the same precedence as division, so: 6/2(1+2) = 6/2 * 3 = 3 * 3 = 9 If using explicit multiplication, gcalctool is correct: 6/2×(1+2) = 9 Other documentation and examples: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/calc/Formulas.html http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6%2F2%281%2B2%29 http://www.google.com/search?q=6%2F2%281%2B2%29 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: gcalctool 5.32.0-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-32.67-generic 2.6.35.14 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-32-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Sep 14 21:10:20 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gcalctool InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100816.1) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=lv_LV.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gcalctool ** Affects: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug maverick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051022 Title: Implicit multiplication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool/+bug/1051022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
