NO. The `vw` unit is short for `viewport-WIDTH` [1]. Per spec text: “vw unit: Equal to 1% of the width of the initial containing block.” Or perhaps I should qualify my answer: It _is_ possible that the **computed** value of 4.4em equals the computed value of `calc(2.2em + 2.2vw)`, if * the initial containing block (window) is a certain width, * the cascade doesn’t mess up with your calculations, * the stars align * the stock market crashed * …. * …… * my cat sleeps more than 10cm away from my keyboard In other words, almost certainly never.
