Calculation error in simple operation with parenteshis #1740

Closed tairosonloa closed 2 years ago

tairosonloa commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Some simple operations with parenthesis are wrong. For example: 100 * (100 -20) = 8000 but Windows calculator returns 80.

Steps To Reproduce Open the calculator, I tried in scientific mode. Test the above equation from the keyboard, keys: 1, 0, 0, , (, 1, 0, 0, -, 2, 0, ), intro*

Expected behavior The result should be 8000, not 80

is this problem fixed? I checked it out, when the equal button is clicked I got the correct output... :)

Yep, it's currently working. It looks like I didn't in fact pressed intro key on my keyboard, which it's like clicking in equal button. However, IMHO, I find the UX a bit weird. I think that showing the result of a part of the expression, in place of the whole expression, seems a bit confusing, because some PC calculators will show the entire expression result if the expressions is valid (i.e. doesn't have unclosed parenthesis or so), without need for pressing intro or the equal button.
