science mode should support an easy button to change result format from decimal mode to fractional mode #204

This is your friendly Microsoft Issue Bot. I've seen this issue come in and have gone to tell a human about it. |
Thanks for the feature suggestion! I think this is a great start, but it seems like there are some missing details. Can you add more information to your pitch? Check out our New Feedback Process for more info. This feels pretty similar to #170? Would you agree? If so, perhaps it would be better to join the discussion there. |
No, I think it's different from #170. But maybe the feature #170 mentions should support first.
I think most of CASIO calculators support this function, maybe you can find one and try. |
can you understand what I say? @grochocki |
What if the output is: 10,00048602673147023086269744836 |
@Luuk34 Hi, the feature I metion depend on |
Thanks for the clarification @whutddk. It seems this #170 is focused on making fractions/exponents visually distinct, while your idea covers covnersion between fractions and decimals. Let's keep this idea open for discussion so the community has the chance to provide feedback. As @Luuk34 points out, most decimals do not work out to a nice conversion. While technically correct, I am not sure displaying this is the best user expereince:
|
so, it is a good idea to add similar accuracy improvements to root numbers? Sqrt (2)=(visualized sqrt)(2) |
We reviewed the pitch and would love to explore this idea further! The pitch is a great start, but there are still some open questions. I am moving this issue into planning to iron out some of those details and I created calculator-specs/decimalToFraction to track progress. A human will follow up with some feedback on your pitch shortly. Keep in mind that not all ideas that make it into the planning phase are guaranteed to make it to release. For more information on next steps, check out our spec workflow. |
We believe this is dependent on #170, which in turn, is likely dependent on the ability to display rich math symbols and expressions in the output. We can move forward thinking through the UX and behavior assuming those issues are resolved. A couple additional pieces of feedback:
|
While this is true, most CASIO calculators simply don't convert the decimals which do not have accurate and "aesthetic" representation in fractions. On pressing the button to convert, it doesn't do anything. While that might not be the best user experience, and I know this would be a lot of work for a minor feature, it makes sense to not convert but simply add a small lightbulb icon beside the same decimal value in the answer box which explains why the conversion was not performed. |
Problem Statement
science mode should support an easy button to change result format from decimal mode to fractional mode.
Evidence or User Insights
In most of scientific calculator, a single button is added to support this funciton to satify different requirement. Can you add this in it?
Proposal
An easy button to switch mode
Goals
when I calculate 3 divide 9, the result 0.333333333... will be given out. But sometimes I need a more accurate result
in fractional format. Because my works need my result to show in fractional.
May be a little button is needed to switch result.
Non-Goals
Low-Fidelity Concept
