For example, if you want to convert a very large 64 bit unsigned decimal value to hex, you simply can't do it? Don't believe me? Try entering the number into the Windows 7 calculator in Programmer Mode. This is the 64 bit hex number EFD expressed in decimal. And there is the small matter that changing from Scientific view to Programmer view causes the clearing of the accumulator.
You might wonder why I'm suggesting getting it from XP instead of Vista. The answer: Vista's version is tightly tied to the OS and won't run under Windows 7. XP's will run perfectly. You might even want to put a shortcut to it in the Start menu structure, or maybe an icon on the desktop. Don't have an old copy of XP? A web search could turn up a copy of XP's calc. GOOD calculators, such as those from TI or HP, have been working around such issues and displaying accurate numbers within the significant digits they carry for decades.
Notably, this is not new. Even the Windows XP calculator shows inaccuracy for sqrt - Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Client. Sign in. The Windows Calculator is one of a few applications that have been bundled in all versions of Windows, starting with Windows 1.
Since then, the calculator has been upgraded with various capabilities. In addition, the calculator has also been included with Windows Phone and Xbox One.
A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1. In Windows 3. In Windows 98 and later, it uses an arbitrary-precision arithmetic library, replacing the standard IEEE floating point library. In Windows , digit grouping is added. Degree and base settings are added to menu bar. The calculators of Windows XP and Vista were able to calculate using numbers beyond 10 , but calculating with these numbers e.
In Windows 7, they were moved to programmer mode , which is a new separate mode that co-exists with scientific mode. In Windows 7 , separate programmer, statistics, unit conversion, date calculation, and worksheets modes were added.
Tooltips were removed. Furthermore, Calculator's interface was revamped for the first time since its introduction. The base conversion functions were moved to the programmer mode and statistics functions were moved to the statistics mode.
Switching between modes does not preserve the current number, clearing it to 0. In every mode except programmer mode, one can see the history of calculations. The app was redesigned to accommodate multi-touch. In programmer mode, inputting a number in decimal has a lower and upper limit, depending on the data type, and must always be an integer. Data type of number in decimal mode is signed n-bit [5] integer when converting from number in hexadecimal, octal, or binary mode.
On the right of the main Calculator, one can add a panel with date calculation, unit conversion and worksheets. Worksheets allow one to calculate a result of a chosen field based on the values of other fields. In pre-beta versions of Windows 7, Calculator also provided a Wages template. You can play the classic Minesweeper and Tetris games, listen to music in Winamp and browse the web with Internet Explorer 7.
It provides the best experience in full screen mode when the browser frame and the web address bar are hidden. It might create the illusion of a working XP machine but the reality is that this is just a browser skin that imitates that.
