Editing Windows Calculator (section)

==Features==
By default, Calculator runs in standard mode, which resembles a four-function calculator. More advanced functions are available in scientific mode, including [[logarithm]]s, [[numerical base]] conversions, some [[logical connective|logical operators]], [[Order of operations|operator precedence]], [[radian]], [[degree (angle)|degree]] and [[gradians]] support as well as simple single-variable [[statistical]] functions. It does not provide support for user-defined functions, [[complex number]]s, storage variables for intermediate results (other than the classic accumulator memory of pocket calculators), automated [[polar coordinates|polar]]-[[Cartesian coordinates]] conversion, or support for two-variables statistics.

In addition, the programming mode allows conversions between bases 16, 10, 8, and 2, the most commonly used by programmers. In this mode, the on-screen [[numeric keypad]] includes the hexadecimal digits A through F, which are active when "Hex" is selected. In hex mode, only integers are supported.

Calculator supports [[keyboard shortcut]]s; all Calculator features have an associated keyboard shortcut.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/keyboard-shortcuts#keyboard-shortcuts=windows-8|title = Keyboard shortcuts|access-date = 11 March 2013|website = Windows 8 Help|publisher = [[Microsoft]]}}</ref>

Calculator in programmer mode cannot accept or display a number larger than a [[Signed number representations|signed]] [[Word (computer architecture)#Size families|QWORD]] (16 [[hexadecimal]] digits/64 bits). The largest number it can handle is therefore 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (decimal 9,223,372,036,854,775,807). Any calculations in programmer mode which exceed this limit will [[Integer overflow|overflow]], even if those calculations would succeed in other modes. In particular, [[scientific notation]] is not available in this mode.
