It would be better if calc returned an error, stating incorrect syntax

The question is general because a general understanding is required!
The example concerns only integers, e.g. where a1=1 and b2=2, the
results are correct, but the question is about learning the correct
syntax so that formula entered in a calc spreadsheet will not be lost
or corrupted when the spreadsheet is opened in another odf compliant
software, e.g. gnumeric. I don't want to use a sum syntax such as
(a1+b2), which gives the correct result, but if opened in another
program, the formula is lost or gives an incorrect answer.
