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.
