Be careful when using Excel
Do you realise that the '-' in both expressions are quite different in
meaning, one is a unary negation operator, the other is the binary
subract operator.
I realise, but Microsoft apparently does not:
- for Excel: (-2^2 + 8) = 12
- for Visual Basic: (-2^2 + 8) = 4
They look pretty much the same
Not to a programmer!
I would expect that some programmers may get confused, due to the inconsistency
of software products of the same company.
