Calculator

Having to deal with math operations isn’t really a difficult task, considering you’re using the right set of tools. Needless to say that a calculator is the basic way of solving simple, or even complex expressions. There are various third-party applications you can rely on, and a suitable example here is Calculator.

It comes with several advantages, and one of them is the lack of actual dependency for the Windows operating system. This is possible because it requires Java Runtime Environment to function. More than that, skip the setup process, and thus it’s possible to carry it around on a thumb drive to use whenever needed.

In terms of visual design, the application doesn’t really look like your average calculator. This is because you don’t encounter a numerical keypad, and all numerical input needs to be performed through the keyboard. What is easier is the use of functions, which are in plain sight, and neatly stored in categories.

The expression field makes it possible to build complex functions. You select them from the given groups, which stand for common, constants, trigonometric, and rounding functions. You can easily assign up to four different constants to use in your expressions.

Results are delivered in real-time, so don’t worry if the initial result fills up with an error message. Functions are added at the press of a button, with an easy intervention on your behalf to fill in the associated number. You can use a memory slot for temporary save of numbers, and there’s also a buffer to view the history of all operations.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Calculator is a nifty tool which mostly serves the calculus of advanced expressions. Various functions can be inserted at the press of a button, while results are shown as the expression is built.
