I think the behavior of taking 6% as 6/100 is correct to keep things
simple, when you do not give a % of something, it is interpreted as % of
1. This is the reason for 1360 - 6% giving the answer of 1359.94. The
argument can be that the calculator must apply the % of the number
before it, i.e. 1360

No you didn't explain how you get 1278.4 which is the right result
according to you. You also didn't reply to the comments to tell me what
was wrong with the "1360 - 6% = 1360 - 0.06 = 1359.94" logic. Anyway
since you seem to have no interest to reply to comment in a constructive
way closing the bu
6% of the number infront of it.. you know, like other calculators do..
tell you what, give me your address, i'll mail you $2, you can goto the dollar
tree, get a calculator, and try for yourself.. this is a valid complaint from
an end user thats wasting time submitting this bug and arguing with
could you explain what you expect "6%" to mean if that's not 0.06 rather
bouncing to trying other softwares?

the blog entry is about the order of the actions which is something

the windows calculator?

sorry, i have to dispute the way it works.. ubuntu is trying very hard
to win over windows converts.. many of whom (myself included) use calc
for alot of things.. this *to me* is a bug.. some others agree (dating
back to 2004) http://blogs.sun.com/calum/entry/gcalctool_ng
also, pick up ANY hardwar
Thank you for your bug, that's not one though. 1360 - 6% = 1360 - 0.06
= 1359.94, which is correct

I think this is a correct behaviour : 6% means 6/100; if you want to
have 6% of 1360 you should use "6% * 1360".

Apparently, gcalcool is interpreting 6% as "0.06", not as "6% of 1360".
Whether it's a bug or expected behavior is open to debate. Meanwhile
you can always use "1360 * (1 - 6%)" to work around this.
