Calculator

This calculator is a computer implementation of an electronic hand calculator.

It offers the following additional features:

  • A history pane offering the versatility of a control tape ("tally roll"). You can copy the contents of this pane and paste it into your favorite word processor for printing.
  • You can paste numbers into the main display and you can act upon them as if you typed them yourself.
  • The value stored in memory is permanently visible in a separate memory display and immediately reflects any changes made to memory.
  • The actual value of the main as well as memory display can be copied for use in another application such as a spreadsheet.
  • Entries can be corrected:
    • either entirely by clicking [CE] or pressing [Delete] on your keyboard
    • or partially by using the backspace key.
  • You can select whether results are rounded (zero or two decimals) or not (floating decimal separator).
  • Calculator uses automatically the decimal separator selected in Windows' regional settings.
  • Independently from memory, you can set a number to use as a constant. You can then perform instant multiplications or divisions by this constant. This is particularly useful to quickly convert currencies.
