okay, my issue appears to be a duplicate of #11786 (with more serious consequences than the original issue).
It would probably be resolved by #2265, but I would like to point out, that issue is 4 years old and is blocked by the microsoft calculator team. Looking through all the issues closed as duplicates/contained within #2265, I can see that there are many problems with the current calculator and it doesn't look like https://github.com/microsoft/calculator/issues/526 will happen any time soon, so maybe you could consider some alternative solutions?
Ping @crutkas @ethanfangg @htcfreek Wanna emphasize the many issue related to the separator char
Answer here would be to just remove the whitespace which would be a easy fix. Calc seems to do that.
@jay-o-way, this is different than comma vs period and when people mix and match them.

That changes the current behavior of an implied multiplication.

@crutkas
What @Jay-o-Way means is that mages interprets space as multiplication: 10 10
is the same as 10*10
. Removing all soaces brings the problem to know if it is a thousand separator space or a multiplication space.

Steps to reproduce
100 500/100
- the result is incorrect (500
instead of1005
)100500/100
(without the separator), we get the correct result -1005
.I believe this is because the whitespace will be treated as implied multiplication, so the equation becomes
100(500/100) = 500
✔️ Expected Behavior
Whitespace can be used for thousands separator.
According to Wikipedia, space is the internationally recommended thousands separator.
❌ Actual Behavior
Doing calculations with large numbers formatted with whitespace as thousand separator give misleading results.
