calculator - 1/6 or 1/11, what language is, for reg or scientific
ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

calculator - 1/6 or 1/11, what language is, for reg or scientific
Try to study computers and calculators and was wondering what language or libraries are used. was thinking of a non-scientific, non-graphing calc... and how to do it by hand. (Thats code with your mind) lol. please show work, thanks -- EDIT: Not necessary.
This was inspired by a Matt parker video, where he used a casio calculator...
was interested more to know over all hand calculators what systems of math used as
Thanks.

Reason: given feedback, edited for clarity and to limit scope of question
While I want to encourage anyone who wants to learn something new, I cannot understand what you are asking. Are you interested in learning "what language or libraries are used" for computers and calculators? Or are you trying to learn how computers and calculators perform their calculations, "and how to do it [same method of calculation] by hand"? And what is the relevance of "1/6 or 1/11" to your question? Are you trying to learn fractional math?
And this, "please show work", makes your question look suspiciously like copy/paste homework question... but we'll ignore that for the moment...
I don't know Matt [Pp]arker and must ask what did he use the casio calculator for?
Please try to be more clear about what you are asking so that others may provide relevant replies, and good luck learning new things!

Thank you for feedback, I should not asked people to show work... or do by hand... because I can search online for my own personal studies I am looking into alot... Not fair to others... will edit.
I found a good site with open source DIY calculator hardware and software, and will begin to look into that as well. It has PDF explanatory manual or guide. clivemaxfield diycalculator

I often get confused between the concrete reality of direct concrete often observable, finite reality of physics as it applies to the invisible, abstract, often difficult to comprehend, infinite/unending reality of math.
