The problem is 1*10^2 is treated at two separate numbers or tokens. In scientific notation 1e02 is treated at one token.
Thus 1e02/1e02 = 1 but 1*10^2/1*10^2 = 1*10^4 Hope this clarifies. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-calculator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210607 Title: Scientific Notation not given proper order of operations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-calculator/+bug/1210607/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
