In the Windows version of ClarisWorks, some formulas within "( )" don't calculate properly in the spreadsheet environment. For example: The formula =(-1)^3 should return the value -1, but returns 1 (positive one) instead.
If the ( ) are removed from the formula, =-1^3 returns the correct -1 (negative one) value.
In another example, if the formula were =(2-3)^3, the answer should be -1, but is still 1 (positive one).
The ( ) cannot be removed in this instance to product the correct answer .
This only exists with ClarisWorks for Windows.
