The calculator allows quick calculations without leaving the IDE. It is a simple calculator, since it does not take care of operator precedence, and bracketing of operations is not (yet) supported.
The result of the calculations can be pasted into the text using the Ctrl-Enter keystroke. The calculator dialog is shown in figure (6.19).

The calculator supports all basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. They are summarised in table (6.1).
|
But also more sophisticated mathematical operations such as exponentiation and logarithms are supported. The advanced mathematical operations are shown in table (6.2).

Like many calculators, the calculator in the IDE also supports storing a single value in memory, and several operations can be done on this memory value. The available operations are listed in table (6.3)
