Scientific Calculator accuracy and testing
This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.
Formula source
- The calculator uses standard mathematical algorithms: * **Trigonometry:** Calculates the ratio of sides for a given angle using the unit circle properties. Note: Input angles must be in Radians. * **Logarithms:** Finds the power to which a base (10 or e) must be raised to equal the input number. * **Exponents:** Multiplies a base number by itself a specific number of times.
Test cases
Default input regression check
Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.
Inputs
- Operation: Addition (+)
- Value 1 (x): 0
- Value 2 (y): 0
Expected outputs
- Calculated Result: 0
Known limitations
- This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
- Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.
Assumptions
- Trigonometric inputs are interpreted as radians.
- Binary operations use both Value 1 and Value 2; unary operations ignore Value 2.
- Logarithms and square roots follow real-number rules, so invalid inputs may return NaN.
Unit handling
- Operation accepts one of the configured options.
- Value 1 (x) accepts numeric values.
- Value 2 (y) accepts numeric values.
Rounding rules
- Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
