• Not, according to you

    Which part of “every single post” do you have trouble comprehending? Honestly dude, need to go back to school and learn to read 🙄

    You underlined some crap in the manuals that doesn’t mean what you said it meant

    = doesn’t mean equals??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Why’d you bring up your calculator if you don’t actually want to talk about it?

    Which part of you’ve been proven wrong so there’s nothing further to discuss didn’t you understand? 🙄 See above about learning to read

    Are not necessary to evaluate such expressions.

    says person contradicting the manual which says you cannot do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    but sure, go ahead and tell us how you can do a simple calculation that has multiple brackets, but without brackets, and without splitting it up, I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣

    You can use a calculator that uses RPN.

    Yes, a calculator where the brackets are built-in, unlike this calculator 🙄

    but was not available on mass market models because… it requires

    Brackets

    Now do you get why pocket calculators had no stack?

    says person ignoring that we’ve already established that they did have a stack. Dude, you’re just going in circles.

    you have no explanation for why the calculator could not perform the expression without splitting it, since bracket keys are not necessary to do so

    says person who has yet to show how it can be done without brackets, since it can’t be done without brackets. 🙄 a(b+c)+d(e+f) is the example from the manual - go ahead and tell us how you can do it without brackets and without splitting it up.

    exists in the use of the += button - is never discussed in the manual.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH! (deep breath) HAHAHAHAA! It’s right there in the examples! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    you just made it up

    says person making up that the lack of brackets keys is somehow not the reason you can’t do expressions with multiple brackets in them, even though they can’t come up with a way to do so 🤣🤣🤣

    you’ve been called out on

    nothing. You still haven’t come up with a way to do an expression with multiple brackets on a calculator that has no brackets. How can I do a(b+c)+d(e+f) on a calculator with no brackets, and GO! 🤣🤣🤣

    You could get out of all this by just admitting that the Sinclair Executive had no stack and operates from left to right.

    the proof is right there in the example that it doesn’t 🙄 A fact which you still haven’t admitted to

    Sure there is.

    says person unable to produce any Maths textbook that it’s in, because there isn’t any such thing

    What you mean is, you prefer not to use the term “implicit multiplication”

    No, I mean there is literally no such thing, hence why it’s not in any Maths textbooks

    if you google the term, you can find the definition

    If you Google unicorns and fairies you can find them as well, but you won’t find them in any Science textbooks either.

    like a mathematician

    exactly what I did, unless you think there are Mathematicians who would entertain discussion about fairies being real beyond “there’s no such thing”?

    In your imaginary classroom you can make your poor students use whatever terminology you like

    We don’t use terminology with things we don’t teach them. Do you think some teachers teach their students about unicorns and fairies being real?

    I, and the rest of the internet, can use the terminology we agree upon.

    Yes, delusional people can agree upon their delusions, no disagreement from me there! 🤣🤣🤣

    Read to the end of the comment before shooting off your comment, and you wouldn’t be such an embarrassment.

    No embarrassment from me - I’ve proven everything in the comment wrong.

    • they don’t emulate scientific calculators

    • they don’t emulate basic four-function calculators

    In both cases they just give wrong answers

    I have never used Microsoft Maths Solver but it bears no resemblance to a calculator so I don’t care

    I’ll take that as an admission of being wrong - all software calculators (MathSolver wasn’t the only one I discussed, which you would’ve known had you bothered reading it), somehow bear no resemblance to actual calculators, got it. Been telling you that all along BTW 🤣🤣🤣

    You still haven’t come up with a good explanation

    which part didn’t you understand in different programmers work on different parts?

    And honestly, I think it’s disgusting that you never wash yourself.

    No idea what you’re talking about, must be another case of Projection.

    Do you not remember that there were two manuals?

    Which part did you not understand in the second one was a chain calculator? You’re going round in circles again

    Either way, you have no explanation

    I already explained dude. Saying I didn’t doesn’t magically make it disappear.

    Try and find one that gives an example of typing in a + b x c and getting a+bc. You can’t.

    Umm, the first one does, as I already pointed out 🤣🤣🤣 Guess what happens you you omit the circled keypress…

    if people have been using these (“niche!!!1”) calculators for decades

    Go ahead and see if you can find any engineers using them. I’ll wait

    The only reason you must do so is to pass high school maths

    and for planes to not fall out of the sky

    The goal of the game is for you to put the brackets in, OK?

    You know the order of operations rules predate use of Brackets in Maths by many centuries, right? How do you think they knew what to do, without brackets? I’ll wait 🤣🤣🤣

    You put the word “smart” in your name,

    says person proving how often they make wrong assumptions. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You could’ve just asked me about it, but no, you literally never check facts first, just launch into provably wrong made up statements 🤣🤣🤣

    so I’m hoping you’re smart enough to work it out!

    Person it refers to agrees with me - who woulda thought?? 🤣🤣🤣

      You said every single post is wrong - present tense. So you only referred to posts I was writing at that moment, which wasn’t any. Weird of you, but thanks for agreeing I’m never wrong!

      = Doesn’t mean equals

      There is no “=” button on the Sinclair Executive, and you aren’t saying the += button means “equals”, you’re saying it omits the manipulation of the (non existent) stack. So your fake cackling makes no sense.

      Which part of you’ve been proven wrong so there’s nothing further to discuss didn’t you understand?

      The part where you haven’t proven anything, of course. If you’d proven your assertion about the Sinclair Executive you would have:

      • An example in the manual of it obeying order of operations in violation of right to left execution; or
      • The specifications saying how much stack memory it had; or
      • A video of someone using it to show it using order of operations in violation of right to left execution; or
      • An emulator where you can see the same.

      You have none of that. Instead you have an example in the manual where the calculator executes strictly left to right, but you have said, without evidence, that a button on the calculator is preventing us from seeing its normal behaviour. And you call this “proof”! That’s the standard of proof I’d expect from a washed up maths teacher I suppose.

      But it doesn’t end there, because you accept that the Sinclair Cambridge only executed left to right. So no, you haven’t proven anything.

      says person contradicting the manual which says you cannot do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      You can’t evaluate that expression without splitting it up? I can. Just fuckin’ evaluate it normally! That sentence is talking about the calculator’s capability, my unskilled friend, and if your mathematical ability is only as good as a calculator from the 70s it does explain things.

      Yes, a calculator where the brackets are built-in, unlike this calculator 🙄

      “The brackets are built in” is a nonsense statement concocted by a moron. Find a citation for it. Brackets are notation; RPN doesn’t use them.

      What you’ve said by implication is that a calculator doesn’t need buttons for brackets in order to calculate a complex expression.

      So, we understand it’s not a lack of brackets buttons holding back the Sinclair Cambridge (and Executive). What is holding them back then, is lack of a stack. If you mean something else than brackets buttons, explain what. Bet you’ll deflect.

      says person ignoring that we’ve already established that they did have a stack.

      If you’ve established it, you’d have evidence in the form of one of the four bullet points above. You don’t; you only have an example which doesn’t show use of a stack.

      a(b+c)+d(e+f) is the example from the manual - go ahead and tell us how you can do it without brackets and without splitting it up.

      I’d write it out in rpn but am waiting for you to agree that a notation which doesn’t use brackets… does not use brackets. I mean if by “it needs brackets” you mean “does not need any brackets” then sure, it’s only as dumb as your other ideas about English.

      It’s right there in the examples!

      You’re saying that example tells you what would happen when the += key was not pressed a second time? Do explain how an example tells you what happens in a situation other than the one in the example.

      the proof is right there in the example that it doesn’t 🙄 A fact which you still haven’t admitted to

      Nope, still not a proof of anything except that, in that example, the calculator executes from left to right. If you want to prove it could do something else, you have to actually do that. I’m waiting!

      We don’t use terminology with things we don’t teach them

      You don’t teach them that ab means a×b? Good grief, it’s worse than I thought.

      “That’s pro–” oh do be quiet, I just told you I don’t care what you call it, and you told me it doesn’t exist and you don’t teach it to kids. You did not say “we teach this concept, but with a different name”. All evidence suggests you aren’t actually capable of understanding the difference between a concept and the name for that concept. Probably why you think English present tense cannot be used to talk about any time except the present moment.

      they don’t emulate basic four-function calculators

      Then find a basic calculator and take a video of it behaving differently, or find a manual with an example of it behaving differently.

      I just realised, your issue with MS Calc in standard mode makes no sense - if you press 2+3+×5, it behaves exactly as the example in the Sinclair Executive manual. So I’m pretty sure according to you that proves that it obeys the order of operations, right?

      No idea what you’re talking about

      I washed myself recently, but you never wash yourself, do you?

      Guess what happens you you omit the circled keypress…

      Well, it would be a guess, wouldn’t it. That’s all you have, a guess. Because it’s not anywhere else in the manual so you’re just making up what you want to happen. But because the spec sheet for the calculator says it has no stack, we actually do not need to guess.

      Do you understand yet what evidence means? It’s what I have, and you don’t because you’re forced to guess.

      Which part did you not understand in the second one was a chain calculator

      It’s an immediate execution calculator, just like ms calc in standard mode. So why does ms calc work in the exact same way as an immediate execution calculator?

      Different programmers

      And one project manager overseeing the behaviour, yes.

      You know the order of operations rules predate use of Brackets in Maths by many centuries, right? How do you think they knew what to do, without brackets?

      I know you haven’t worked out where the brackets go! Go on, try again, you’re very very very smart I’m sure you can do it!
