Scientific Calculator Guide

Basic Operations

• Use the number buttons (0-9) and decimal point (.) to enter values.

• Use +, –, ×, ÷ for basic arithmetic.

• Press = to calculate the result.

Advanced Functions

• sin, cos, tan: Trigonometric functions (input in radians).

• log: Base-10 logarithm.

• ln: Natural logarithm (base e).

• √: Square root.

• x²: Squares the current number.

• x^y: Raises a number to a power (e.g., 2^3 = 8).

• 1/x: Reciprocal of the current number.

• %: Converts to percentage (e.g., 50 → 0.5).

• |x|: Absolute value.

• n!: Factorial (e.g., 5! = 120).

• π: Inserts Pi (3.1415…).

• e: Inserts Euler’s number (2.718…).

Parentheses & Order of Operations

• Use ( and ) to group calculations (e.g., (2+3)×4).

Editing & Clearing

• DEL: Delete the last digit.

• AC: Clear all inputs and reset the calculator.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Type numbers and operators directly from your keyboard.

• Enter or =: Calculate result.

• Esc: Clear all.

• Backspace: Delete last digit.

Tips

1. For exponents like 2³, type 2, then x^y, then 3, then =.

2. For scientific notation, use * and ^ (e.g., 2*10^3 for 2000).

3. Errors will display if inputs are invalid (e.g., log(0)).
