It works just fine, it's alternative maths.

Give me dat feedback plz :DDD

So glad I trashed wndows where it belongs

It IS functional, you autist, because the way you entered the numbers into the calculator without hitting enter, it solves 910 + 35 first, and then multiplies it by 4.

Doesn't work with the keyboard either. You have to use a mouse.

Just business as usual at the failure that is the Microsoft applications and user interface dept.

No decent calculator operates this way. This still contradicts what it says on the screen. It should say (910 + 35) * 4 or 945 * 4.

JESUS CHRIST HAHAHAHAH

Wintrash is even worse by the days

I must kek the toppest of the top kekkles but I am all out of sides.
Did microcucks forget about PEMDAS or what

>functional
>can't press backspace
lmao

>Install windows
>It literally gives you wrong answer to calculation

You haven't finished the equation yet, if it did that, it'd have to keep nesting them for every time you enter in an operation.

Sigh.

All these botnet but you can't make a calculator.
Really made me think.

Yeah I know I haven't finished the equation yet, so why is windows giving me an answer...

Also fucking ads on Calculator.

interns need to do something I guess

God, you think that's bad, try getting F1 to provide reliable help

nice try windows, trying to keep normies competing with rajeed

>enable the mode that does math properly

what even is

Becuase it's really fucking handy for quick sums and cumulative shit, which is what 90% of people use it for.

Omg science!!1

>too dumb to type in calculator

>programmer mode never saves Hex as the default base
It's stupid shit like this that makes people stick with Win7

It LITERALLY displays a formula AND result which do not equal each other.

No matter WHAT the reasoning behind this, it's wrong.

>scientific calculator with direct link to ifuckinglovescience facebook page

It's the history

What part of

>No matter WHAT the reasoning behind this, it's wrong.

didn't you get?

Pick a random basic calculator, you'll have the same results.

Show me 1 (one) calculator that does this.

THE OPERATING SYSTEM IS NOT GIVING YOU AN ANSWER, YOU SPERGING FUCK

Solus is literally superior to Windows 10 in this manner.

It's doing it in sequential order and the "equation" is just the histroy. If you want it to act like a calculator you use scientific mode. Pretty simple really.

>the windows calculator in its physical form

Pretty much any calculator available for or packaged with Linux distributions are better than what a massive corporation can produce.

They did. Don't use the universal abortion though

the history is wrong because the simple calculator does the sums left to right regardless of whether it's pasted, even if you paste with parenthesis it ignores them, you have to explicitly type the parenthesis manually

this is contrary to every other software calc posted in this thread, and even windows own scientific calculator where you CAN paste parenthesis

made my own c++ calculator when I was 9. btfo op

It's so basic that it doesn't follow simple rules of arithmetic

It's a step calculator, it shows the previous number used in the sum to calculate the next.
E.g.: 910 + 35 = 945, now "945" represents "910 + 35" then "910 + 35" x 4 = 3780.

This.

Not that the average windows user is aware of arithmetic rules.

But that is just a plain wrong way of calculating.

>Why can't Microsoft create a functioning calculator?

Because it won't make a difference if you don't know how to use it.

If you use a simple pocket calculator, it will do operations in the order you enter them. ie. it will first add 910+35 and displays 945, then it will multiply it by 4. Basic calculators only do one operation at a time. The Windows calculator, when set to Standard mode, will emulate this behaviour.

Now if you do the same thing in a scientific calculator, it will let you type in anything, and will only do the calculation once you hit the equal/enter sign, and then it will process the entire thing in the correct order of operations. You can switch the MS calculator to scientific mode and it will then work like that.

tl:dr; you are a fucking idiot.

But why?

Underrated post

Do the same calculation on your pocket calculator, and you'll get the same thing.

can someone tell me why you multiply first
i keep doing it just because im told to

but i never understood why

Because multiplication is stronger than addition so it goes first

that's it?

well alright

that doesn't answer the question though

Just someone decided that's how it's done. No other logical reason.

Because mathematicians don't want to write brackets all over the place

It does. Look up order of operations. If you do any programming, this should be a prerequisite to understand; order of operations was the very second thing I learned on computers, from the C64 user manual back when I was 5 years old.

Not quite.
Exponents and roots are done by doing lots of multiplications or divisions.
Multiplication and division can be done by doing lots of addition and substraction.
Addition and substraction is at the end of the food chain, you do that last.
Brackets are first because they are literally a sign saying (DO THIS SHIT FIRST).

again, a child of age 5 can understand this shit.

He asked for a reason, not how it's done.

I smell the stench of the CIA

You must have installed the Common Core version

>Firefox

ever hear of order of operations retard
if it was meant as one formula its wrong

>He asked for a reason, not how it's done.

One is the same as the other.

Haters blown the fuck out.

It's only stronger because someone decided that it was to be the case. It's still completely arbitrary.

The pocket calculator does not have brackets.
Are you trying to say your pleb calculator does not understand pemdas?

I do not see the problem.

see

see
Windows calculator in standard mode is a pocket calculator; one operation a time. It does not do PEMDAS because it does everything in the order you type it in.

Windows calculator in scientific mode is a scientific calculator; it can handle full equations and knows which order to execute them in.

Do you went through all that trouble to make a point?
Get out MS shill

>recording a webm
>trouble
Yes, it's too much work just to prove a point, shill. No one would give a fuck.

Grab a proper desktop calculator with a tape roll and all. Post results.

>someone makes you look like a clueless American-educated retard
>just call him an MS shill

nice argument.

and fyi the biggest "trouble" was that I had to go to the store on the other side of the road to get a new LR54 battery for my old calculator that I haven't used since high school.

No it is NOT. To be functional and correct according to your argumentation, it would have to first calculate 910 + 35, provide that result and then shift into a new line to a new input argument with said result, e.g. 945 * 4, which it doesn't.

But it's not a surprise, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer don't steer MS no more, no wonder it goes to shit.

I see no problem once user error is taken out

you're doing step by step math

How about how a real calculator solves it.

nice fake news retard

nice shitposting though
I like that

TOP KEK

Microsoft has doubled its share prices since Nadella is at the helm; they are at an all time high right now.

fuck off REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Year of the Linux

Stop being retarded, you have to click the menu button and change it to scientific mode. It will give you the right answer

shit c++ 10 second script reporting in

It is a known fact that Microsoft fakes these numbers by making use of alternative maths.
They provide wall street with calculators which let everything seem bigger as it really is, hence the bigger numbers when you look at Microsoft shares nowadays.

>no new line

Oh my god, there's no way that Sup Forums is this retarded? This is literally more retarded than Sup Forums and Sup Forums guys.

Welcome to Shitpostin/g/, my newfriend.

Yeah of the start menu ad revenue: when it will end !?

the day epic memes die

Not sure if good or bad bait

This entire thread is ironic, right?

There's no way this many people can be this retarded.

Fucking what

But there's no fucking point
It still gives the wrong answer. All you just said is that normal $2 calculators are shit and windows prefers to simulate shit, instead of scientific calculators
Tldr; it should just start in scientific

Will addition be defeated? Will his evil clone subtraction finally lend a hand?
Find out, on next week's episode of Math Ball Pi!

In the shadows lurk the division queen already planning to divide the competition.

Everyone is ignoring these because OP is literally an idiot and doesn't know how to use a calculator. OP did this

910+34 = X
X*4=

and he expected this result
910+34*4 = X
