NO. Not if I enter it in a specific order.

1x2 = 2

2+5 = 7

7x50 = 350

Not 252!

That is how a calculator should work when you are typing in the calculation
by *hand*!  I shouldn't have to worry about precedence then.

This app is supposed to replace the calculator I can buy for $10.  And that
is how it should work.

Remember, we are working with hand entered calculations that go into the app
in a certain order, and *that* is the order that it should be calculated...
