Title: my java calculator
Post by: tloz128 on April 26, 2010, 09:30:06 pm: Yes, I made a calculator. It sucks, but I'm proud of it. :P

Let me know what you think of it!

Post by: Builderboy on April 26, 2010, 10:55:20 pm: Thats actually pretty nice :) Are you planning to add any other features or do you plan to move onto other projects?

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 26, 2010, 11:12:17 pm: Nice, I am curious if you are planning to add more features too ^^

Post by: tloz128 on April 26, 2010, 11:39:27 pm: Yeah, I'll probably add some other features to it like decimals and negative numbers- maybe exponents. I'm probably not going to spend a whole lot more time on it, though.

Title: Re: my java calculator
Post by: tloz128 on April 27, 2010, 08:08:01 am: Yes, but you can only get a negative number by subtracting from a positive one. What I meant was that I was going to add in a negative symbol so that you can multiply and divide by negatives.

Post by: meishe91 on April 28, 2010, 11:51:31 pm: Hmm its nice. I don't get the thing DJ is getting though. However, it doesn't auto-clear if it is supposed to (like if you do an equation then try entering stuff without hitting clear it just adds the number to the end or something). Also, I would reverse how the ^x√y works, as I would put what root you are doing and then the number that is being "rooted." Just my opinion. It's very nice though.

Also, maybe display the expression as you type it, instead of just the numbers?

Yeah, I could probably put that in. It's still a work in progress, and there's still some stuff that I want to add to it.
