Calculator with variables

[axelkennedal]

What feature or new tool do you think should be added to DevToys?

A calculator which works like this:

• It's a full-window multiline textfield, a sort of scratch pad
• On every line you can write a statement
  • Define/update a variable like totalOrders = 1300 or completedOrders = 300
  • Make a calculation, and store it in a variable like completedPercent = round(completedOrders/totalOrders, 2) * 100
• Every line should display its result at the end of the line, e.g. completedPercent = round(completedOrders/totalOrders, 2) * 100 = 23.08
• It should be possible to save and open scratchpads

Why do you think this is needed?

A flexible calculator like this where you can use variables, see the results of multiple individual calculations at the same time and easily change parts of your calculations which can "trickle down" and affect other calculations you are doing can be very useful.

Solution/Idea

I believe I have already described it.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. It's funny you're suggesting this because I was thinking about something similar yesterday. I was considering forking my recent unreleased "smart calculator" in DevToys, but was also thinking it could be a standalone app: https://github.com/veler/notepad-based-calculator
