Thread: Please test my calculator prog

Thnx. That helps a lot. Never knew that. So, it'll do nothing to the output or whatnot? Kool. But, is there really anyway to fix it (besides the way you showed me)?

Ok, kool. Thnx. Does it work right for anyone that's not on XP?

Ok, thnx. Just wondering, but would me program work for Linux also (or any other OS that isn't Window$)?

I haven't look at your source code, so I wouldn't know. It really all depends on whether you are using Windows specific functions or not.

This recent thread about portability has a very good explanation concering portability by Prelude. She gives an example of a smart way to make your program easily portable.

Ok, thanks. I'll take a look at that.

Here's a new version. Added a few new features, fixed a couple of bugs, and some other stuff.
The features I added are:
1. Save/load. It saves the version number, extension, and label for comparision. The load feature has a bug, but I can't fix it (Doesn't display the label).

2. Right triangle. Let's you figure out if the given three values will make a right-triangle.

3. Square root. Figures the squared root of the number.

Note that R.T. means "Right Triangle". I abbriviated it for menu purposes (which has been changed). There could be more options I didn't list here *I can't remember right off hand what the other version had*. I also added a credits list in the readme file.

pretty cool, but what you can do before you keep adding more stuff is like have the program get a string line, for example a person can enter:

2+4+2+3

and it will give u the answer : 11, your program would just have to find the operation signs and the different numbers and basically find the answer, this will probably get very complicated when u have to start doin bedmass stuff and use brackets, etc. but it would be real cool

nice job btw

Ok, I ain't feelin all that great today, so can u please run that string line thing past me one more time **. But, sure. I'll give it a try. Would anyone know how to do matrice input *I know how to add them and stuff, just dunno how I would let the user input the values*

P.S> Thnx. Good job on ur games to

ok basically the caclulator would ask you to enter a string of numbers and the calculation to process for each one so instead of asking you to enter 1 number each time you could enter something like this:

1+2*12-16/4

and it would calculate the whole thing, so it would first do the multiplication:

1+24-16/4

then the division

1+24-4

and finally the addition and subtraction

21

and thats it!

hope you get well soon

Ok, thnx. That cleared it up. It'll get work on that as soon as I can *which will probably be soon*.

P.S> thnx, me to

P.P.S> Anyone know any FREE host that allows PHP or CGI? I don't want AngelFire, Lycos, or Tripod *already tried to sign up, but never worked* I know it's a bit off topic, but I want a better host then GeoCities.

they have a really cool one the best that i know of...

Thnx...I'll try them out.
