Calculator currently does operations in a sequence, what can be a bit misleading, because all system calculators on Android I've seen were preserving operations order.
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of current way of input, which works like traditional digital calculators, it should rather work like stock Android calculators. It should allow to input the whole equation and then compute it, preserving operation order.
Describe alternatives you've considered
In SMT Tibor wanted this feature to be only in scientific calculator mode (to be done maybe someday). However, I don't think it's a good idea, since stock calculators have this in every mode, not just scientific.
Additional context
Currently implementing it will be fairly easy, because Calculator is built on exp4j library which preserves operation order. However, if we change the number data type (issue #6), it will need to be done differently. But doing it from the scratch shouldn't be very hard, it's just implementing the simple algorithms like Shunting Yard.

Hi! @chLynda and I are Computer Science students at Université Paris 8 (France).
We're part of an Open Source Software course, and contributing to a Git project is a requirement. We've seen issue #7 in the Calculator project and would like to work on it
