Solve : Microsoft Calculator Fail? |
|
Answer» Microsoft's Calculator failed in FOLLOWING calculation. 2704/52 = Try yourself Doesn't Work 2702/52 is 52. Nice one hahaBC, don't ruin it! Of course you would have to choose something like 5704; if you were to use, say, 64, most people KNOW their times tables and would be able to call it out. but most people would need to use calculator for something like 5704/52 and wouldn't know the RELATIONSHIP between the numbers. of course you got unlucky and the first person to READ your post was able to square 52 without one and see how the two numbers were related, heh.You're not making it any better. It won't do √-1 Quote from: Fleexy on August 29, 2010, 04:34:59 PM It won't do √-1That's because it only works with real numbers, not imaginary or complex ones.* Fleexy hates it when people miss the pointQuote from: Fleexy on August 29, 2010, 05:17:49 PM * Fleexy hates it when people miss the point your point was it didn't work with Sqrt(-1). I told you why that was the case. I fail to see the point I missed.

They want my preeeeecious You failed to realize that Microsoft did not fail. They failed to tell you they purposely didn't fail. square root of -1 legally failed on the calculator like all calculators with square root function would.It doesn't work in 7 but it works in some older windows versions: put in 7/(4+3= That is- use = bewfore you close the parentheses. Occasionally this causes calc to crash. Not necessarily a terrible issue since it's just a pebkac issue MS didn't think to address. Also it doesn't happen in windows 7 or in most 64-bit versions of windows.Michael, you almost got me! |
