To: 37235
In GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.23.2)
of 2018-08-13 built on buildvm-13.phx2.fedoraproject.org
Windowing system distributor 'Fedora Project', version 11.0.12004000
System Description: Fedora release 29 (Twenty Nine)
The precedence of calc-eval doesn't follow C-like rules.
(calc-eval "1/2*3") returns "0.166666666667"
returning the same answer as (calc-eval "1/2/3"). It should return
"1.5".

It works as documented in the Calc manual, section 5.15 Formulas:
C-h i m calc RET 5 m formulas RET
Calc gives '/' lower precedence than '*' by default.
To make Calc follow C-like rules, you can set it with the command
calc-c-language. You can read its documentation with:
C-h i m calc RET i calc-c-language
Best regards,
Mauro.

It is documented that multiplication has higher precedence than
devision (see (calc) Formulas). Calc is following the rules of
Algebra.

Also see (info "(calc) Basic Arithmetic"),

which mentions calc-multiplication-has-precedence.

Since this is notabug, I'm also closing it.
