My wife was doing some chemistry conversions when one of her
calculations came up with the answer "0". Her equation was similar to:
10^-1(10^6)
This seems to be a operation processing order error to me; the
calculator seems to be raising 10 to the -1e6th power, and getting 0 for
an answer. This seems incorrect to me. I would expect the "^" would be
evaluated first - e.g. (10^-1)*(e6). In fact, when I key the equation
in this way, I get the answer I would expect.
Can anyone explain this apparent bug? (Can you duplicate it?)
thanks -
-Pete
