Order of Operations:
From: | To: |
The order of operations is a collection of rules that reflect conventions about which procedures to perform first when evaluating a given mathematical expression.
The calculator follows standard mathematical precedence rules:
Example: In the expression (2+3)*4, the parentheses are evaluated first (2+3=5), then multiplication (5*4=20).
Details: Parentheses can be nested, and the calculator will evaluate the innermost parentheses first, working outward.
Tips: Enter any valid mathematical expression using numbers, +, -, *, /, ^ (exponent), and parentheses. Example: (3+5)*2^3/4
Q1: What operators are supported?
A: Basic arithmetic (+, -, *, /), exponents (^), and parentheses for grouping.
Q2: Can I use nested parentheses?
A: Yes, the calculator handles nested parentheses correctly.
Q3: What's the precedence between * and /?
A: Multiplication and division have equal precedence and are evaluated left to right.
Q4: Can I use decimals in my numbers?
A: Yes, decimal numbers are fully supported.
Q5: What happens if I enter an invalid expression?
A: The calculator will display an error message explaining the issue.
