sqrt((12 in)^2 + (45 cm)^2) will give proper result but
sqrt(12 in^2 + 45 cm^2) will be calculated as sqrt(12 * (in^2) + 45 * (cm^2))
I would say that the way Qalculate does it is the reasonable way. The exponent should take precedence over the multiplication, and I would expect "12 in^2" to be "12 square inches" by default.
If someone would like to make the interface better I'm all for it.
I also see there has been a recent bugfix release which might be worth updating too. I am pretty busy atm so if anyone fancies doing this then then please do
I am not sure if I got this app in my N900 from repo or just a deb file from somewhere but it doesn't work well. It has a input screen but calculation and outputs are not shown anywhere when = is pressed. Can anyone make it working properly in N900? Thanks!
