The FOX Calculator is a simple desktop calculator geared toward the programmer. It supports not only a full complement scientific functions, but also common operations that programmers need, such as bitwise operations, bitwise shifting, and base-2 logarithm and exponents, and numeric conversion between hexadecimal, octal, binary, and decimal. The FOX Calculator implements correct operator precedences, so expressions like 2+3*5 yield the correct result, which is 17, and not 25. Also featured is a constant memory, which permanently stores its value even if you exit the calculator and restart it later.
- Color settings of the button groups;
- Information about the calculator. In the Calculator settings panel, you can change font used for the display, by pressing the "Set..." button to bring up the standard Font Selection Dialog. You can change the way numbers are printed as well. Checking "Always show exponent" will cause the calculator display always to display the number in exponential notation. Checking "Never show exponent" will cause the calculator to render the number in simple dot notation. The precision can be set by means of the spin button; the default precision is set to 16. Finally, the calculator can be set to beep when errors occur. In the Color settings panel, you can change the colors of the various button groups. The buttons are grouped by function; the numbers are in one group, and the operators are in another, and so on. In the About panel, some information is presented about the calculator, like version number and author's contact.
pi - Enters the number 3.1415926535897932384626433833
e - Enters the number 2.7182818284590452353602874713 (hit the "inv" button first)
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Floating point division
In addition, FOX Calculator also includes bitwise operators, such as:
AND Bit-wise logical and
OR Bit-wise logical or
XOR Bit-wise logical exclusive or
NOT Bit-wise logical not
SHL Bit-wise shift left
SHR Bit-wise shift right
SAR Bit-wise signed shift right (hit the "inv" button first)
Also nice for programmers is the inclusion of integer operations:
mod Integer modulo
div Integer division (hit the \"inv\" button first)
All the operators have certain precedence relations with each other, so that an expression is evaluated correctly.
sin Sine
cos Cosine
tan Tangent
asin Inverse sine or arc sine (hit the "inv" button first)
acos Inverse cosine
atan Inverse tangent
sinh Hyperbolic sine (hit the "hyp" button first)
cosh Hyperbolic cosine
tanh Hyperbolic tangent
asinh Inverse hyperbolic sine (hit the "hyp" and "inv"buttons first)
acosh Inverse hyperbolic cosine
atanh Inverse hyperbolic tangent
For the first 6 functions, the angle mode determines whether the argument is specified in terms of degrees, radians, or grad. Note that the angle mode is preserved across invocations of the Calculator.
log Base 10 logarithm
ln Natural logarithm
2log Base 2 logarithm
x! Factorial
nPr Permutations
nCr Combinations
sqrt Square root
x^y X raised to the power y
1/x Reciprocal
10^x Base 10 exponentiation (hit the "inv" button first)
e^x Exponentiation
2^x Base 2 exponentiation
x^1/y X raised to the power 1/y
x^2 X squared
