internaut posted:today's new low: the calculator that comes with windows 10 doesnt do order of operations correctly. and yes, it is a modern app that can't be resized below a certain giant size. hey, at least they fixed it from windows 8, which had two calculators. So the problem is that in the first screenshot there are missing parentheses?

SupSuper posted:it's always been like that yeah standard calc when in scientific does the same thing, this is not new to the modern app but gently caress it's so amazing how badly metro apps scale in windows sizes when they were supposedly designed from the outset to be resolution independent, gently caress if I resize the window to a small size (in this case, one that makes sense for a calculator) then why not just start shrinking the elements

eschaton posted:there's a reason I still have my 23-year-old HP-48SX sitting on my desk at work PCalc is good, but RealCalc is literally the only Android app that i miss, it's extremely close to PCalc but slightly better in use i have a HP 50g at home, it's not a bad calculator but if i ever want to do something complicated enough to require it i'll probably want to put the calculation and a graph or two in a document so doing it in something like mathcad or even excel makes more sense
