FAQ

Summary

What does this basic calculator do?

The tool solves arithmetic expressions with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentage, and parentheses, updating in real time.

Does the calculator use eval?

No. The expression is validated and processed by a custom parsing routine, keeping the calculation flow controlled.

How does percentage work?

The percentage symbol transforms the preceding number into its percent form, equivalent to dividing that value by 100.

Can I use my physical keyboard?

Yes. The calculator accepts physical keyboard input for numbers, operators, parentheses, Enter, and Backspace.

Who it is for

Solve everyday math without opening another app

The calculator is for anyone who needs a quick calculation with parentheses and operator precedence: students, people reviewing amounts, and anyone on a phone or computer.

  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide in the correct order of operations.
  • Use parentheses to group parts of the calculation.
  • Type on a physical keyboard, including Enter and Backspace.
Instructions

How to calculate

  1. 1. Tap the buttons or type the expression on the keyboard.
  2. 2. Use parentheses when you need to group operations.
  3. 3. Follow the result, which updates as you type.
  4. 4. Copy the result or clear the expression to start again.
How it works

Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction

The expression is read by a dedicated calculation routine that respects operator precedence and parentheses.

Precedence

× and ÷ are solved before + and −.

2 + 3 × 4 equals 14, not 20.

Parentheses

Whatever is inside parentheses is calculated first.

(2 + 3) × 4 equals 20.

Percentage

The % sign divides the number before it by 100.

200 × 10% equals 20.

Verifiable example

Grouping with parentheses

Type the expression below and check the result.

Expression
(2 + 3) × 4
Result
20

Without the parentheses, the same sequence would give 14, because the multiplication would be done first.

Limits

What the calculator does not do

The focus is basic arithmetic.

  • There are no scientific functions such as roots, powers, or trigonometry.
  • Division by zero and incomplete expressions show a warning instead of a result.
  • Results with many decimal places may be rounded on screen.
