RE: Smartphone killed the calculator star. Some thoughts... and data too
On the computer, for things not complex enough for LibreOffice spreadsheet, I often use the calculator in MS Windows. You can paste a string of text as a "calculation" to it and then copy-and-paste the result into another document.
I just got the idea to test a few things - this comes out zero: 1/3=*3=-1= I just went to the Help and found these shortcuts: S sin O cos T tan I i=Inv Using those in this text input pasted to the calculator, this gives 9: 9SOTITIOIS But this: 9SOTITIOIS-9= gives: 3.3055861301806391104645128745734e-32 But yeah, no doubt the the main calculator market is for the TI model approved/required for USA high school tests. I'm surprised the 12C is still selling, surely there are apps that do the same thing, or even emulate it? |
