Our simple Java calculator is designed to help novice developers learn how to create a calculator program with Java. Our easy-to-use code and intuitive user interface make it accessible and approachable for people of all skill levels. With the use of a large subset of tools in Java and the use of Java Swing, we aim to teach users about both the back end process and a little bit about the front end process of software development and give them a solid foundation for building more complex projects in the future.
If you use the executable "SimpleJavaCalculator.jar" file and that doesn't work, you can type this in your terminal:
java -jar /your_calculator_directory/SimpleJavaCalculator.jar`

Here are some potential ideas that were considered but not implemented due to time constraints:
-
Degree-Radian toggle button: A button to switch between degree and radian mode for trigonometric functions, allowing users to work with angles in their preferred unit.
-
Keyboard input support: Enable users to perform calculations using their keyboard, improving the user experience and efficiency
-
Customizable button layout: Allow users to rearrange and customize the button layout to suit their preferences and usage patterns
-
Responsive design: Optimize the calculator's user interface for various screen sizes and devices, ensuring a consistent experience across different platforms
- For any trig identity simply type in a value and press the specific trig identity button
- Ex: 2tan
- For the pi button you can use pi by itself by just pressing the button or by doing an operation with another number such as (30 * pi =)
- Note that you cannot press pi and then a number. You must press pi then an operation then a number
- For Combinations and Permuations you have to press a number then press the desired funciton and then another button followed by the equals button
- Ex: 12 nCr 6 =
- For factorials and Euler's number, you must first press a number and then press the factorial or Euler button
- Ex: 6n! / 6e
- To change Theme press the drop down menu at the top to switch from dark to light
