How hard can it be to make a calculator app. Apparently Microsoft cannot get it right. You might say hey, but it works already. No it does not. See in math 1-(-1)=2 because the double minus sign cancel each other and turn into a plus. Well the w10 calculator app, just does 1-1=0 and show that this is the result. Yes this is the result of one minus one. This is not the result of one minus minus one. This is basic math .... Stop focusing on the interface and code the base right Microsoft.

    Sorry for the bad image but it really does work for me. When using a sign after an opening bracket it automatically adds a 0 though.

    (reason for that (the bad image) is I was in bed, and got out to verify)

    @Codex404 without brackets it fails to do the correct math.

    It fails to do the correct input, because who in their right mind would enter two signs after eachother?

    This is not a bug but a a feature so you dont have to remove a character while accidentally typing the wrong character.

    @Spark and you gave the example with brackets

    @Codex404 it does happens that 2 minus signs are close to each other. Still it should simplify those ... It is a math rule

    @Spark no it shouldnt, when placing a sign when a sign is placed it replaces that sign, its a feature I use a lot myself, and Im simplifying myself while entering.

    @Codex404 that's an odd feature because it is not documented.

    besides here is the same thing in gnome-calculator on linux ... notice that there are no brackets here

    Two operators are a mathematical syntax error

    @Spark fortunately for you the minus sign is not the same as the negative sign.
    The negative sign is in the bottomleft.

    Both of those features are documented (let me find the docs for you when Im in the train)

    Was about to pop in and say it works fine on Windows 10 if you're using the scientific mode and you simply change the sign, but I see Codex404 already got it.

    Carry on.

    @GMR516 you dont even have to be in scientific mode.

    @Codex404 Probably. That's just what I was in the other night and it worked.

    You just can't enter minus twice without brackets.

    Bring back the good old calc.exe!
    For fuck sake!

    @Gregozor2121 the same functionality was in there as well. I just checked, even XP had this.
