    Because every single textbook you’ve cited, I absolutely guarantee it… was written in the past!

    But being used in schools right now, and you’re desperately trying to twist my words around to mean something else because you can’t find any textbooks which say juxtaposition, except for one from 1912 🤣🤣🤣

    How shall we make sense of this conundrum?

    You’re the only one who has issues with understanding present and past tense dude, you’re the only one trying to use a 1912 textbook in the argument.

    “I never use drugs” doesn’t mean the same as “I am not using drugs at the moment”

    Yes it does, because “I never use drugs” isn’t the same as “I have never used drugs” 🙄

    So yeah, you absolutely said the wrong thing

    I absolutely didn’t Mr. I can only find it in a 1912 textbook 🤣🤣🤣

    your reason for using it is stupid.

    says person trying to bring a 1912 textbook into the argument only to avoid admitting having been wrong 🙄

    If you were any kind of reasonable person and not someone incapable of admitting the slightest mistake

    So not like you, which I’m not 😂

    you would have said, “oh, sorry, I meant that textbooks don’t use the word ‘juxtaposition’ any more”

    It’s already there in the use of the present tense

    Mate, try and keep track. We’re talking about a specific calculator and its specific manual.

    And it specifically says you are wrong 🙄

    Your calculator is not relevant to that one.

    So when you said all, you didn’t really mean all, so an admission that you were wrong about “all”. Got it. Thanks for playing. Glad we’re done with the “basic” calculator topic then

    “Says person lying” is your favourite

    statement of fact

    deflection

    says person talking about calculators that don’t have brackets because he’s absolutely proven wrong about The Distributive Law, and is trying to deflect away from admitting being wrong about that 🙄

    the calculators we all had in primary school, If you press the following sequence of buttons: 2 + 3 x 5 =, the answer it will give is

    17

    even though they can make scientific calculator modes work correctly!

    Nope! They don’t! With the exception of MathGPT, they all ignore The Distributive Law, you know, the actual original topic 🤣🤣🤣 The Windows calculator in Scientific mode says 8/2(1+3)=16, because, when you type it in, it changes it to 8/2x(1+3). It’s hilarious how you just keep making easily proven wrong statements and bring more embarrassment upon yourself, instead of just, you know, checking facts first 🤣🤣🤣

    Sharp calculator obeying The Distributive Law

    Note that neither MathGPT, nor the Sharp calculator, forcibly add in a multiply sign where it doesn’t belong. Welcome to dumb programmer who has forgotten how The Distributive Law works and didn’t bother checking in a Maths textbook first.

    yet there’s such a simple explanation! They’re emulating basic four-function calculators that have existed for decades

    No they’re not! Just like they’re also not emulating Scientific calculators that have existed for decades! 🤣🤣🤣

      The only reason we’re still talking about the old textbook is because you said that something never happens which, in fact, has happened. I’m glad though that I can now honestly say “I never make mistakes” because all mistakes I’ve made are in the past, which we know such a present-tense sentence has no bearing on, because the present tense concerns only this current moment and no others!

      I never make mistakes, I never eat or drink, I never breathe (holding my breath as I write, you see), I never move, but never stay still! Well you’ve opened up a whole new genre of nonsense poetry! I assume you’d really agree that I am never wrong - right?

      Now, it’s strange you didn’t take up my offer to show this calculator of yours (that you were so proud of that you tried to insert it into a conversation about a different one) so come on, show me a picture of it! Or better yet, a video of you typing in 2+3×5=. I can hardly admit that I was wrong about my general statement about basic calculators if I can’t even confirm that yours exists. My offer stands, even if you still want to insist that my freebie calculator is a “niche” one (what niche are you even saying the are used in? You never said. And have you given up on calling them “chain calculators”?)

      Nothing to say about the nonexistent stack depth of the Sinclair Executive huh? Guess you finally checked out the spec sheet for its chip and found out how many bytes of memory it had. You get a hint of this in the manual, because it says (pg 6), “a problem such as (a+b)c + (d+e)f cannot be done as a simple calculation, it must be split into two parts.” There is no reason that it would need to be split if the calculator had a stack, as it could store (a+b)c on the stack while the user entered (d+e)f. It can’t though, because it doesn’t have a stack. You have no explanation for why this calculator could not perform this calculation without splitting it.

      Now, you’ve done a silly with the software calculators there, you see, we’re talking about order of operations, not how calculators render implicit multiplication. We can get to your la-la beliefs on the latter at some point, but you really ought to keep these things straight in your mind.

      But for the sake of clarity, I’ll rephrase: you have no sane explanation for why scientific mode tends to obey a different order of operations than basic mode on software calculators. I do, and it’s because they’re emulating basic, four-function calculators which had no stack.
