'''Windows Calculator''' is a [[software calculator]] developed by [[Microsoft]] and included in [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]. In its [[Windows 10]] incarnation it has four modes: standard, scientific, programmer, and a graphing mode. The standard mode includes a number pad and buttons for performing arithmetic operations. The scientific mode takes this a step further and adds exponents and trigonometric function, and programmer mode allows the user to perform operations related to [[computer programming]]. In 2020, a graphing mode was added to the Calculator, allowing users to graph equations on a coordinate plane.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-01-17 |title=Windows Calculator will get a Graphing Mode: first look - gHacks Tech News |url=https://www.ghacks.net/2020/01/17/windows-calculator-will-get-a-graphing-mode-first-look/ |access-date=2022-09-02 |website=gHacks Technology News |language=en-US}}</ref>
