Bug ID: 487614
Summary: KCalc does not consistently follow the order of
operations, leading to incorrect results for certain
expressions (e.g., 8 - 3 * 2 + 1 evaluates to 1
instead of 3).
Classification: Applications
Product: kcalc
Version: 24.05.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: evan.te...@gmail.com
Reporter: darga...@cornacis.org
Target Milestone: ---
KCalc does not consistently follow the order of operations, leading to
incorrect results for certain expressions (e.g., 8 - 3 * 2 + 1 evaluates to 1
instead of 3).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I can reproduce this behavior with any question that has addition, subtraction,
and multiplication. I have evaluated other calculations and get correct answers
however questions that specifically have 3 steps which include addition,
subtraction and multiplication generate incorrect answers, such as my example
8-3*2+1 evaluates to 1 instead of 3.
OBSERVED RESULT
8-3*2+1=1
EXPECTED RESULT
8-3*2+1=3
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kernel: 6.9.2-zen1-1-zen
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Just to make sure I wasn't making a human error I did the same test
calculations using a physical calculator, and the android calculator, both of
which gave correct answers, I also ran this by chat gpt just to see if it could
find a mistake I was making and it agreed that Kcalc is giving incorrect
answers.
