Hi!

Every calculator for Windows Pocket PC v 5.0 that I have tried is different from the Handheld calculator.

For example, on the handheld calculator, if you type
100*10%
+
=

the answer you get is 110

On the softwares available for Pocket PC, if you type
100*10%
+
=

the answer you get is 10

Would be grateful if you could please let me know if there is there any software similar to the handheld calculator.

Thanks and regards

?
you got a stupid handheld calculator :D
because 100 * 10% aren't 110
if you type 100 * 110% or 100*10%+100 you get 110

so it never will give a calculator for ppc with absurd mathematical processes.

Hi! schwert,

The handheld calculator is not wrong. You can try it.

The way it calculates the answer is as follows (that's if you can understand english / maths properly) :wink: :

100 * 10% = 10
+
=
The answer you get is 110

(ie the handheld calculator stores 100 in it's memory automatically and then adds 10 to it to give you 110)

Thanks for your reply, though.

Almost a year but :lol:

How come you don't use it like this:

100
+
10
%
=

The answer is then 110
