Well I decided to make a calculator, since it is PROBALLY the most simpliest thing to make, and I am bored. It's going GREAT and all but one thing, I am a 7th grader and I know not many processes that should be on a calculator. So I come here to ask for ideas on what I could add to the calculator. Please just give me the name of the process, I will look it up and study how it works, unless you explain it to me. Please help me with this, so far I have the basics I can think of.


Current Processes:
Add
Subtract
Divide
Multiply
Absolute Value
Square Root
Sine
Cosine
Square
Cube
Exponets
Arccosine
Arcsine
Area
Perimeter
(Correct me if these names are incorrect)

NOTE: I will edit my post when I have added more stuff.

PS: I didn't know if this was the right category, but I suspected it was.

PPS: If you can include a function that BYOND Supports for the process, please do. EDIT: Please include the name of the ACTUAL process. ex: Multiplication,Addition,Add,Multiply. EDIT YOUR POSTS TO HAVE THE REAL NAME PLEASE





Thanks for reading!

Square Route, Cos, Sin, exponents(^), and that's all I can think of. Also, good luck!

square, square root, pie, and see if you can do a graphing calculator type thing, where you enter an equation that look like this:
y= mx + b
y being the y axis, m being the slope, x being the x axis, b being the y intercept (you should be able to research this) i can't explain how it works, but anyways, when you enter that equation it graphs it for you, i would be able to use this since i'm freshman in high school and cna not afford a graphing calculatior

Zero, it's pi. :p

Might want to add factorials (ie. 5! = 5*4*3*2*1), as it'd be pretty easy to code. Also, maybe add tan (tangent) and sec (secant), if you have sin and cos. Oooh ooh! And
log (logarithm)!

Iggy, that'd be long and boring to make, but easy.

Ya know what would be nice? (something we've learned in Honors Algebra today(I'm in 7th grade too :P))

The ability to graph an equation in "point-intercept form"
I'm going to use Y1 and X1 to substitute what I cannot put on the forums.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y would NOT be a number.
y1 WOULD be a number that THEY enter.
M would be the slope
x would NOT be a number
x1 would be a number that THEY enter.

Then standard form would be nice:

Ax + By = C

I really forgot what A,X,B,Y, and C stood for, but I know this is the equation we used.

And of course, y = Mx + b ^_^

What would Pi be used for?
What is there to do with Pi?

A lot, area...and some other stuff. Just type in Pi in google and you will get answers.

Matrices could help people a lot.

Square Route meaning Square root?

The number times itself to make a square number.

Then shall I add Cubed
?

Oh yeah! Cubed was with the exponent of 2. Add squared too. :|

Exponents(I experimented)
mob
    verb
        exponent(number as num,exponent as num)
            var/basenumber = number
            while(exponent)
                number*=basenumber
                exponent--
            src << number
