v30 calculator

[joecar]

Is there a way to revert the v30 calculator back to previous (i.e. no scientific functions, no conversions), i.e. like a setting or a button (one for scientific functions, another for conversions)...?

Also, if you really want to do conversions (proverbial can of worms):
- kilometer is mentioned, but mile, nautical mile and league are not mentioned.
- rod/pole, chain, furlong, fathom are not mentioned.
- in addition to tonne, note that ton has two variants, long and short.
- area is not mentioned (hectare, acre, square mile, rood, perch).
- gallon has two variants, US and Imperial.

( can remove "(Hex)" since everyone knows what 0x1234 means )

trigonometric and hyperbolic functions: do these take arguments in degrees or radians...?

suggestion:
they should take arguments in radians, and could have a degree ° button to specify degree->radian conversion, e.g. sin(90°)

i.e. so executing 90° would produce 1.5708 radians.


And there is no pi or e constants (if you're doing trig/hyp you will need these).

I can never remember how to convert a metric ton.

scientific calculator also require factorial ! operator, and C(n,r) and P(n,r) functions.

can of worms continues:

will the scientifc calculator support complex numbers...? 

[joecar]

Code: [Select]

-19 % 7   = -5 = 0xFFFB (16 bit)
is fine, but what if some other word width was wanted, e.g. 8 bits or 32 bits...?

[joecar]

superscript checkbox is confusing...

it looks like it does power:

Code: [Select]

5³= 125
125
5**3= 125 = 0x7D (Hex)
125

Thanks for the suggestions.

We will continue to add features to the calculator.

An option whether to add " (Hex)" would be useful.

More unit types

Functions like sin needs to support radians and degrees


I like typing equations in the editor and using variables. Very convenient for some simple math that I don't have an app for.

No docs for π and the calculator doesn't have a button for it but π is supported. It would be handy if "pi" worked too. Right now, only π is supported. No support for "e" yet.

Not sure what you mean by n.

sometimes there are mixed radix calculations, e.g.  sin(90°)*cos(pi)
and a pi symbol button would be nice

Copy/Paste of equations is very handy 
Variables are required, with multi letter names (i.e. not a single letter name).

[Clark]

We will be adding quite a few calculator additions to v30.0.1 (like better support for degrees, more unit support etc.).

Buttons for some unicode stuff would be handy

Thanks again for more suggestions   

[joecar]

You are welcome.

I have a few more suggestions that I am thinking thru and trying out on various calculators.

Have you tried typing something like:

Code: [Select]

25*123=


in a .txt file? With the default options, the result is copied to the clipboard. You can turn this feature ON for source files too and limit it to when you're in comments.

Tools>Math>When Type '=' Copy Result to Clipboard

I did find some issues where certain binary operations with unit types should display an error but currently gives a result which doesn't make sense. We will eventually post a hot fix for this.
