CALCULATOR

Math may not be the most accessible subject in school, but manual calculus of operations is not really needed otherwise. In this regard, calculators are used to provide the result you need with great accuracy, and in the blink of an eye. One suitable example is CALCULATOR, which makes it easy to perform simple calculus.

First of all, the application doesn’t need to be installed on your computer in order to function, but you do need to make sure that Java Runtime Environment is installed on the PC you want to use it on. Since it’s portable, you can carry it around on a thumb drive to use on different computers, without worrying that registries get affected.

All it has to offer can be found in a slim, cool design, which is mostly suitable for touch-supported devices because of the large buttons, and results screen. There’s no problem in getting acquainted with the set of operations, or how these are triggered.

Sadly, the application doesn’t support keyboard input whatsoever, so you need to use the mouse to interact with both numerical values, operators, and to reveal the result. What’s more, you need to get used to the size of the main window, because it comes in a fixed size, with nothing to hide, and nothing more to show.

In case you want to export results, this needs to be done through regular copy and paste operations, because of the lack of any export options. You need to stick to basic operations like sum, subtraction, multiplication, and division, because there’s no built-in scientific component to help you out.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that CALCULATOR is only a simple alternative to the tool Windows puts at your disposal. Sure enough, it can be used on different platforms, since it relies on Java to run, but without a scientific component, it only provides results for basic math operations.
