Mobile phone calculator


I have a couple of smart phones (not the flash ones) and find the calculator function quite handy.

Now I notice that there doesn't seem to be a percentage key. Is this common?

 

Cheers, Tony

Well, well - I suppose if we bothered to download and read the instruction manual, it might have told us that. Just goes to show never too old to learn something new - thanks!

You do not need a % key.  Percentages can be calculated without one.

@ Phillipn

Don't tell any of the young kids thatbiggrin

they would not understand how you do that

They are all ready flat out how to operate a calculator

but give them a mobile phone they will tell you how to do things

 

Cheers John

And if you rotate your iPhone your simple calculator becomes a scientific calculator.

As a very experienced, former tin can and string type telephone man, I thought that my new hand me down (from the wife) phone, had no calculator.

My grandson put me on the right track.

If you can not see a calculator, it may be under the box marked as extras.

Even on my old, (no make or number that I can see, type phone), the scientific calculator appears when I place it in the landscape position

True there were no calculators when my era went to school. In 1962 inkwells and nib pens, would have been available, if you did not have your own Biro. In 1963 it was compulsory for an apprentice Fitter to buy their own slide rule. (The forerunner of the calculator).

Maybe you do need a calculator.

Born in 1910 (correct or not), would make someone 105. 2015-1910=105.

 Thing is I am not stupid enough to put ALL my correct personal details on ANY public forum.  Have you heard of Identity Theft?  It is real, so much information can be collected on anyone that does provide these details with very little effort.

In this case my birth date is correct but obviously not the year.

For the same reason I do not bin any mail that has my address on it without passing it through a shredder.  

Paranoid?  Maybe but I have seen the consequences of carelessness.

Someone who really NEEDS a % key on their calculator needs a lot more than just a % key.
