Issue with Percentage Calculation

[kamrulhasanio]

Describe the bug I encountered an issue when performing percentage calculations in Cute Calc.

To Reproduce

1. Open the Cute Calc app.
2. Input the following calculation: 500 - 20%
3. Observe the error or unexpected behavior.

Expected behavior I expected the app to correctly calculate the result of 500 minus 20%.

Ah yess I remember being confused by this too, but that my friend is the modulo operator i.e. it gives you the remainder of an operation i.e. 10%3 = 1

See #15

[sosauce]

Yeah, the % is to calculate modulo, I should specifie it..

[realeatham]

Why not just switch it to percentage

[sosauce]

Because I'm using a math library (Keval). So I can't cuange what it does..

[realeatham]

Does keval have percentage at all?

[sosauce]

No, but % is used for remainders in math so I understand why not, maybe I could find a workaround since people don't seem to know about modulos..

[realeatham]

Can you give me a link to keval?

[realeatham]

You can definitely add percentage to that as it supports more operators and overriding preexisting operators.

[realeatham]

I might try later

[quadroli]

But that would mean coming up with a new symbol for it .. because mathematically both modulo and percentage are denoted by %

[quadroli]

And I'd argue modulo is more important because it's an operator .. but as for percentage, its just a different way to represent a no. i.e. 24% = 0.24 = 24/100

[realeatham]

You can just remove modulo, it's a scientific calc thing.

[realeatham]

Most people will want percentage

[sosauce]

Yeah, why have a button that is just a division. May just completely remove % button. Could use Keval{} to change the behavior but erh. Will test it but prolly will remove the % button

[sosauce]

Might replace with exponents ? I've found myself needing exponents way more then modulo/percentage espcially since the grade im in at school we use it very often. Let me know what y'all find more usefull

[realeatham]

Yeah, exponents are a lot more useful. I did have an idea for how to have both in one button which we could use, but it's hard to describe, I'll make an animation to show it later maybe. But exponents is definitely more useful than percentage and modulo is basically useless.

[sosauce]

I've changed it to exponent, now just have to figure out how to add a cursor to the text (I have no idea how 💀)

[realeatham]

Ok. Don't forget to change landscape mode aswell.
