I mostly use matlab

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Ive been forced to use it a bit and it has so many weird quirks that are just messed up. Index start at 1. Sometimes u have to assign some function output to a variable before u can pass it as an argument to another function.

I far prefer to use python with numpy matlab and scipy

C or AC = clear all

CE = clear entry

That said, there are variations based on brand and model.

I've definitely seen C and AC on a calculator, where I think the C does what's supposed to be CE

Yeah, some companies seem to be allergic to standards, hence the need for the final disclaimer.

I do it a bunch of times for the same reason I also CTRL+C a bunch of times when I need to copy on windows.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I mean that I get since it seems to ignore a single ctrl+c on windows regularly.

I just noticed I don't have a hardware calculator...

And the software one I remember about is translated.
