| Order of Operations and Precedence |
Calculations in the calculator are affected by the precedence order of operators within an expression. When combining multiple operators in a single expression, the calculator executes the operations according to a specific order.
If an expression contains operators with equal precedence, the calculator evaluates them from left to right.
To change the evaluation order inside the expression, use parentheses to indicate the portion of the expression you wish to calculate first
For example, the expression 5 + 2 * 3 returns 11, as multiplication is performed before addition. However, (5 + 2) * 3 returns 21, as the operation within the parentheses is calculated first.
| Order | Operator | Explanation |
| 1 | ( ) |
Parentheses: Promotes the evaluation order of the enclosed part. ▸ 2 + 4 × 3 = 14 ▸ (2 + 4) × 3 = 18 |
| 2 | - |
Unary Minus
This operator changes the sign of its argument from positive to negative and vice versa. ▸ -1^2 is evaluated as (-1)^2 and not as -(1^2) |
| 3 | Postfix Operators: | |
|
ȧ Ⱥ ȳ |
Power of
▸ sin8^2 is evaluated as sin(8)^2 ▸ sin82 is evaluated as sin(8^2) |
|
| % | Percentage | |
| ! | Factorial |
|
| 4 | ^ | Power ▸ 2^3×10 is evaluated as (2^3)×10 not as 2^(3×10) |
| 5 | × | Multiplication |
| / | Division | |
| √ | Root, Square Root | |

| Functions |
Functions can generally be entered without parentheses when passing numbers, although some cases require their use. The examples below illustrate how to pass parameters to functions with and without parentheses.
Examples:
| Complex Number |
The evaluation of the imaginary unit 'i' in a complex number is performed using a multiplication operation.
