I usually just Google math and get results that way. I have a browser open anyway so using the address bar is the easiest way for me

@thoxx 3 * 7 + 3 + 4 * 5

Normal maths -> 44
Ms Calculator -> (3 * 7 + 3 + 4)*5 = 140

Typing the thing without parenthesis in chrome's DevTools I get the correct answer...

@Phlisg because you're using the standard mode, which calculates each step after another.
( 1 + 2 * 3 is calculated as 1 + 2 = 3, 3 * 3 = 9)
Just switch the mode to scientific and it does exactly what you want.

@JaegerStein that's just plain stupid, another MS thing, but well, thanks for the info

@JaegerStein so standard mode is basically toddler mode? 😂

I still find the scientific version a bit clunky. Symbolab (more or less a free version of WolframAlpha) always does the trick.
