Q : The Calculator feature of my Galaxy S4 shows the result value of a formula using '%' differently to my Galaxy S3.
Is my device faulty?
A : Your device is not faulty.
For the Galaxy S4, the concept of '%' in the Calculator feature was changed for usability because most users use '%'
for the calculation of interest rates.
If you enter '%' in the previous formula including the number, It will be calculated as a '%' of the previous number.
ex : 10% = 0.1
10+10% = 11 ('%' is applied to
(10+10)+10% = 22 ('%' is applied to
10+(10+10)+10% = 32 ('%' is applied to
The calculation in Galaxy S3
Note : - Parenthesis should be closed automatically when user does not close parenthesis.
