Bug ID: 503749
Summary: Simple calculator vs Equation mode
Classification: Applications
Product: kcalc
Version: 24.12.3
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: evan.te...@gmail.com
Reporter: eand...@gmail.com
CC: gabriel.barrantes....@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you enter: 10+5*2 the result is 20, while I would expect it to be 30.
This is because kCalc doesn't work as a simple calculator and doesn't "finish"
the calculation after each operation, but instead the user is entering an
equation until ENTER is pressed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 10+5*2
OBSERVED RESULT
Result is 20 according to the order of operations, which is correct if we look
it as an equation
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect the result to be 30 (10+5=15, then 15*2=30) because I would
expect kCalc to work as a simple calculator in the simple mode, and finish the
calculation after each operation and continue the next operation with the
resulting number.
I think there are multiple bug reports which are somewhat tied to the same
problem, for example: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487566
