oh brother, it's this nonsense again. the calculator is right, modern software that works blindly left to right is wrong. this becomes obvious in algebra with variables

the distributive property is being murdered by retards who slept through middle school algebra and this will probably result in a plane crashing into a stadium full of orphans at some point

@deprecated_ii You can consistently define the order of operations to work either way. In serious work, people generally don't write non associative operations in a way where you need a special rule to figure out what the correct order of application is, because that's dumb. I have never seen the divides symbol used outside elementary algebra and arithmetic classes.
