When using Calculator, you can have the computer speak each button you click and tell you the result of a calculation.
To have the computer speak the value or function of each key you click, choose Speech > Speak Button Pressed.
To have the computer speak the result of a calculation when you click the Equal Sign key (=), choose Speech > Speak Result.
The programmer’s calculator performs calculations that programmers frequently use. It can convert values to hexadecimal, octal, or decimal; perform logical operations; display your results in binary; and rotate or shift bits.
Choose View > Programmer.
The programmer’s calculator works with integers only. There is no decimal point. If a computation results in a floating-point number, the decimal is truncated. For example, if you enter 99 / 10 =, the result is 9.
The Decimal Places setting in the View menu doesn’t affect the programmer’s calculator. The Paper Tape and memory functions aren’t available for the programmer’s calculator.
Community Q&A
- QuestionIs it possible to add other currencies or conversions to the calculator?
Liza GaylordCommunity AnswerNot possible, sorry. The calculator that comes installed on Macs is very fixed. You will probably need online calculators to do this. (Google does this very well if you type your needed calculation into the search bar.) - QuestionThe equals sign is gone from my Mac Calculator. How may I restore it?
Community AnswerDelete it, then do cmd+space and type calculator. It will pop back up and it will be restored. - QuestionHow do I keep my calculator icon in the task bar on my Mac?
Community AnswerWhen you have the app open, right-click on the icon in the task bar and select "Pin to Task Bar."
