Scientific mode in Windows Calculator
By default Windows calculator doesn't support order of operation, to enable the functionality you need to activate the scientific view, let me show you how.

|
|
|
 |
1.
|
|
|
Open the Windows calculator.
You can launch the same way as I did, click Start button, enter calc.exe into Search program and files window and press Enter.
|
|
| |
2.
|
|
|
If you now enter 5 + 5 * 5 you get 50 as the result.
Which is wrong, as calculator in standard mode doesn't support priority of operation.
|
|
| |
3.
|
|
|
Now click View and choose Scientific.
|
|
| |
4.
|
|
|
As you can see a lot's of new options and operations have appeared.
|
|
| |
5.
|
|
|
Again calculate 5 + 5 * 5 and the result is now 30 which is correct, as with the Scientific view among other things, you also get the priority of operations functionality.
