ANONYMOUS Last I heard, 6+14÷5-3=5.8, but in Simple mode, KoalaCalc told me that 6+14÷5-3=1! Hmm! (Version 4.3.1) | |

ANONYMOUS KoalaCalc is a linear calculator so it deliberately ignores order of operations and brackets when they are not printed on the screen as this can lead to confusion. Thhat is, operations are processed in the order they are entered. For order of operation calculations and brackets, use the built-in expression calculator by clicking the "Expression" tab when the calculator is in advanced mode. The expression calculator was designed speciifically for the feature you requested. Macropod Software (Version 4.3.1) | |

ZAC Well.. this doesnt do much that the Mac OS X system calculator doesnt do the same, or better. And the System calculator has more features too. But as this is free who can complain. (Version 4.2.1) | |

ANONYMOUS This problem is fixed in version 4.2.1. (Version 4.2) | |
 | Sep 18 2004 |
DOUG Yay: Expressions and functions work in v4.2.1, but there should be a "raise" item (^) in the functions menu because it is hard to find on different keyboards/languages. And: The expression sqrt((11^2)+(8.5^2)) works fine, for example, but if you add ^2 to this expression, an error occurs: minilinker.cpp line 607 (Version 4.2.1) | |

DOUG ENGELBART Yepp; it's quite ;-) perfect, but not completely perfect: We are missing a simple parenthesis function ["(" and ")"] which is very often used and important and on every "real" solar calculator. And: The windows' sizes AND positions AND font sizes should be saved on quit or in preferences. And then (!) it's really perfect. =) Thanx for being better than Apple. (Version 4.0.3) | |

ASMEURER That's what the expression pane is for. (Version 4.1) | |

MACROPOD SOFTWARE The tape window size and position are saved between launches in the latest version (4.2). Brackets are deliberately not supported in the main calculator (a linear calculator). Using order of operations and brackets when they are not printed on the screen can lead to confusion. Instead, use the built-in expression calculator by clicking the "Expression" tab when the calculator is in advanced mode. (Version 4.1) | |
 | Sep 18 2004 |
DOUGLAS Yeah; thank you! =) Brackets work great in the Expression tab. We only need a simple little button that puts the expression result into the calculator display and into the Tape respectively. And: The Tape's contents should be saved on quit so that they are there again when you restart this brilliant calculator. And: Sometimes the Tape's size is *not* saved on quit in v4.2.1 (sometimes it works, sometimes not). Thanks again . . . (Version 4.2.1) | |
 | Sep 19 2004 |
MACROPOD SOFTWARE If you click on the expression calculator's result, it will be transferred to the main calculator for further action (no need for an extra button). The result will subsequently appear on the tape when it used in a calculation, or you can force a manual print by pressing the equal key. Can you submit a bug report of the conditions in which the tape size isn't saved between application launches? I can't replicate this behavior. Macropod Software (Version 4.2.1) | |

ANONYMOUS I formerly used iCalc on OS 9 and liked it a lot, but when I couldn't find it for OSX, I found Koalacalc. I do a lot of calculating expressions, so it fills my needs quite well. I haven't used much of the rest, just some conversion and some probability. (Version 3.1.1) | |
