Calculate and immediately display a preliminary result as you enter numbers until you press the equal sign, with the ability to edit using the backspace key Windows 10/11

For example, we type 2+3, we want to see the preliminary result 5 right away, before pressing the next action sign or the equal sign or another number: КалькW11 Then we press 5 and want to see the preliminary result 37. Then we press backspace (we see 5 again), press 1 and want to see the preliminary result 33. Then you can press the equal sign or not press it (it doesn’t need to be pressed very often or almost never).

NB: may contradict #1736 и #1786

So in simple terms as you said, we can show the results before pressing the equal button Right! For example, If I just want to calculate (4 * 2) it must show a preliminary result (8) before pressing the Equal button Right? And please correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, like in the standard Android calculator, for example. Screenshot_20240908-120102.png
