Calculator (Apple)
Calculator is a software application developed by Apple Inc. for performing basic arithmetic and scientific calculations. It is included in the macOS and iOS operating systems.
History[edit | edit source]
The Calculator application has been a part of the Macintosh operating system since its early versions. It was first introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh 128K. Over the years, the application has evolved, incorporating more features and a more user-friendly interface.

The Calculator application offers several modes of operation:
- Basic Mode: This mode provides standard arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It also includes a memory function.
- Scientific Mode: This mode offers advanced mathematical functions, including trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. It also supports complex numbers and provides a more extensive set of operations for scientific calculations.
- Programmer Mode: This mode is designed for software developers and includes functions for binary, octal, and hexadecimal calculations. It also provides bitwise operations and other features useful for programming.

The user interface of the Calculator application is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. It features a numeric keypad, function buttons, and a display area for showing the current calculation and result. The interface adapts to the selected mode, providing additional buttons and functions as needed.
