i have a ti89 calculate and if you do
-2^2 it will say -4 so it always takes it as -(2)^2 so it sees the negative as out in front, same happens on 83's HOWEVER as always if you put it as (-2)^2 it will be 4
As far as i know that is how it should behave w/o () around the -2
or the -2 being like var %two = -2 i would say that it should auto see -2 as (-2) thats what the ti's do at least
-2->a
a^2 = 4
My 2 cents as well.
