A software calculator is a calculator that has been implemented as a computer program, rather than as a physical hardware device. They are among the simpler interactive software tools, and, as such, they: * Provide operations for the user to select one at a time. * Can be used to perform any process that consists of a sequence of steps each of which applies one of these operations. * Have no purpose other than these processes, because the operations are the sole, or at least the primary, features of the calculator, rather than being secondary features that support other functionality that is not normally known simply as calculation. As a ''calculator'', rather than a computer, they usually: * Have a small set of relatively simple operations. * Perform short processes that are not compute intensive. * Do not accept large amounts of input data or produce many results. ==Platforms== Software calculators are available for many different platforms, and they can be: * A program for, or included with an operating system. * A program implemented as server or client-side scripting (such as JavaScript) within a web page. * Embedded in a calculator watch. * Also complex software may have calculator-like dialogs, sometimes with the full calculator functionality, to enter data into the system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「software calculator」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
