...this calculator is.

I used this calculator due to two cool functions:
- it can be used by keyboard, not necessarily mouse
- it has a "history" of calculations where you can see different steps and what you entered (it would be cool if you could edit individual steps/typos right there in the history)

I deployed this calculator again because, THIS CALCULATOR DOES NOT KNOW THE "POINT BEFORE STROKE" RULE, i.e. if you type 2 * 5 + 2 * 10 it will calculate 2 * 5 + 2 = 12 * 10 = 120...

If I am just too stupid to use this, I'm sorry. Otherwise don't trust this one!!!

Many calculators have this issue. You can get a correct answer but you need to use the Expression window and type

(2*5)+(2*10)

The result will be 30.

It is quite a nice feature as you can make the function as complex as you desire and edit any part of it at any time.

Actually the Expression window supports logical order of operations so you could also just type

2*5+2*10

without using parentheses and still get the correct answer.
