[ros-dev] Bug: The calculator of ROS calculates wrong

[Murphy, Ged (Bolton)]

Realistically, 3 + + should give a syntax error as it's not a valid
mathematical equation.
 
Anything generated from this equation is undefined.
 
I know some calculators use hitting the + button as a trigger to calculate
anything in memory.
Looking at the Windows calculator, it seems to take a number then a operand
as valid syntax to use the previous number as post number.
 
Thus 
'3 +' = 6
'3 -' = 0
'3 *' = 9
 
Any further operand cancels out the previous. 
Thus:
'3 + + + + - - - - * * *'  is equivalent to  '3 *' = 9
 
Strange ....
