Calculator

The Windows Calculator app is a modern Windows app written in C++ and C# that ships pre-installed with Windows.
The app provides standard, scientific, and programmer calculator functionality, as well as a set of converters between various units of measurement and currencies.

Calculator ships regularly with new features and bug fixes. You can get the latest version of Calculator in the Microsoft Store.

Features

  • Standard Calculator functionality which offers basic operations and evaluates commands immediately as they are entered.
  • Scientific Calculator functionality which offers expanded operations and evaluates commands using order of operations.
  • Programmer Calculator functionality which offers common mathematical operations for developers including conversion between common bases.
  • Date Calculation functionality which offers the difference between two dates, as well as the ability to add/subtract years, months and/or days to/from a given input date.
  • Calculation history and memory capabilities.
  • Conversion between many units of measurement.
  • Currency conversion based on data retrieved from Bing.
  • Infinite precision for basic
    arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) so that calculations
    never lose precision.

Getting started

Prerequisites:

  • Your computer must be running Windows 11, build 22000 or newer.

  • Install the latest version of Visual Studio (the free community edition is sufficient).

    • Install the "Universal Windows Platform Development" workload.
    • Install the optional "C++ Universal Windows Platform tools" component.
    • Install the latest Windows 11 SDK.
  • Install the XAML Styler Visual Studio extension.

  • Get the code:

    text
    git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator.git
  • Open src\Calculator.slnx in Visual Studio to build and run the Calculator app.

  • For a general description of the Calculator project architecture see ApplicationArchitecture.md.

  • To run the UI Tests, you need to make sure that
    Windows Application Driver (WinAppDriver)
    is installed.

Roadmap

For information regarding Windows Calculator plans and release schedule, please see the Windows Calculator Roadmap.

Graphing Mode

Adding graphing calculator functionality is on the project roadmap and we hope that this project can create a great end-user experience around graphing. To that end, the UI from the official in-box Windows Calculator is currently part of this repository, although the proprietary Microsoft-built graphing engine, which also drives graphing in Microsoft Mathematics and OneNote, is not. Community members can still be involved in the creation of the UI, however developer builds will not have graphing functionality due to the use of a mock implementation of the engine built on top of a
common graphing API.

Diagnostic Data

This project collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services.
Read our privacy statement to learn more.
Diagnostic data is disabled in development builds by default, and can be enabled with the SEND_DIAGNOSTICS
build flag.

Currency Converter

Windows Calculator includes a currency converter feature that uses mock data in developer builds. The data that
Microsoft uses for the currency converter feature (e.g., in the retail version of the application) is not licensed
for your use. The mock data will be clearly identifiable as it references planets instead of countries,
and remains static regardless of selected inputs.

Application Architecture

Windows Calculator is a C++/CX application, built for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP).
Calculator uses the XAML UI framework, and the project follows the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)
design pattern. This document discusses each of the layers and how they are related to the three Visual Studio projects
that build into the final Calculator application.


Table of Contents


View

The View layer is contained in the Calculator project. This project contains mostly XAML files
and various custom controls that support the UI. App.xaml contains many of the static and
theme resources that the other XAML files will reference. Its code-behind file, App.xaml.cs,
contains the main entry point to the application. On startup, it navigates to the main page.

c#
rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), argument)

In Calculator, there is only one concrete Page class: MainPage.xaml. MainPage is the root
container for all the other application UI elements. As you can see, there's not much content. MainPage uses a
NavigationView control to display the toggleable navigation menu, and empty containers for delay-loaded UI elements.
Of the many modes that Calculator shows in its menu, there are actually only three XAML files that MainPage needs to
manage in order to support all modes. They are:

VisualStates

VisualStates are used to change the size, position, and appearance (Style) of UI elements
in order to create an adaptive, responsive UI. A transition to a new VisualState is often triggered by specific
window sizes. Here are a few important examples of VisualStates in Calculator. Note that it is not a
complete list. When making UI changes, make sure you are considering the various VisualStates and layouts that
Calculator defines.

History/Memory Dock Panel expansion

In the Standard, Scientific, and Programmer modes, the History/Memory panel is exposed as a flyout in small window sizes.
Once the window is resized to have enough space, the panel becomes docked along the edge of the window.

Scientific mode, inverse function button presence

In the Scientific mode, for small window sizes there is not enough room to show all the function buttons. The mode
hides some of the buttons and provides a Shift (โ†‘) button to toggle the visibility of the collapsed rows. When the
window size is large enough, the buttons are re-arranged to display all function buttons at the same time.

Unit Converter aspect ratio adjustment

In the Unit Converter mode, the converter inputs and the numberpad will re-arrange depending on if the window is in
a Portrait or Landscape aspect ratio.

Data-Binding

Calculator uses data binding to dynamically update the properties of UI elements. If this concept
is new for you, it's also worth reading about data binding in depth.

The x:Bind markup extension is a newer replacement for the older Binding style. You may see both
styles in the Calculator codebase. Prefer x:Bind in new contributions because it has better performance. If you need
to add or modify an existing Binding, updating to x:Bind is a great first step. Make sure to read and understand
the difference between the two styles, as there are some subtle behavioral changes. Refer to the
binding feature comparison to learn more.


ViewModel

The ViewModel layer is contained in the CalcViewModel project. ViewModels provide a source of
data for the UI to bind against and act as the intermediary separating pure business logic from UI components that
should not care about the model's implementation. Just as the View layer consists of a hierarchy of XAML files, the
ViewModel consists of a hierarchy of ViewModel files. The relationship between XAML and ViewModel files is often 1:1.
Here are the notable ViewModel files to start exploring with:

PropertyChanged Events

In order for data binding to work, ViewModels need a way to inform the XAML framework about
updates to their member properties. Most ViewModels in the project do so by implementing the
INotifyPropertyChanged interface. The interface requires that the class provides a
PropertyChanged event. Clients of the ViewModel (such as the UI), can register for the
PropertyChanged event from the ViewModel, then re-evaluate bindings or handle the event in code-behind when the
ViewModel decides to raise the event. ViewModels in the Calculator codebase generally uses a macro, defined in the
Utils.h utility file, to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. Here is a standard
implementation, taken from ApplicationViewModel.h.

c++
[Windows::UI::Xaml::Data::Bindable]
public ref class ApplicationViewModel sealed : public Windows::UI::Xaml::Data::INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public:
    ApplicationViewModel();

    OBSERVABLE_OBJECT();

The OBSERVABLE_OBJECT() macro defines the required PropertyChanged event. It also defines a private
RaisePropertyChanged helper function for the class. The function takes a property name and raises a
PropertyChanged event for that property.

Properties that are intended to be the source for a data binding are also typically implemented with a macro. Here is
one such property from ApplicationViewModel:

c++
OBSERVABLE_PROPERTY_RW(Platform::String^, CategoryName);

The OBSERVABLE_PROPERTY_RW macro defines a Read/Write property that will raise a PropertyChanged event if its value
changes. Read/Write means the property exposes both a public getter and setter. For efficiency and to avoid raising
unnecessary PropertyChanged events, the setter for these types of properties will check if the new value is
different from the previous value before raising the event.

From this example, either ApplicationViewModel or clients of the class can simply assign to the CategoryName
property and a PropertyChanged event will be raised, allowing the UI to respond to the new CategoryName value.


Model

The Model for the Calculator modes is contained in the CalcManager project. It consists of three layers: a CalculatorManager, which relies on a CalcEngine, which relies on the Ratpack.

CalculatorManager

The CalculatorManager contains the logic for managing the overall Calculator app's data such as the History and Memory lists, as well as maintaining the instances of calculator engines used for the various modes. The interface to this layer is defined in CalculatorManager.h.

CalcEngine

The CalcEngine contains the logic for interpreting and performing operations according to the commands passed to it. It maintains the current state of calculations and relies on the RatPack for performing mathematical operations. The interface to this layer is defined in CalcEngine.h.

RatPack

The RatPack (short for Rational Pack) is the core of the Calculator model and contains the logic for
performing its mathematical operations (using infinite precision arithmetic
instead of regular floating point arithmetic). The interface to this layer is defined in ratpak.h.

New feature process

Where do I submit my idea for a new feature?

The easiest way to submit new feature requests is through
Feedback Hub.
In Feedback Hub, any Windows user (even if they aren't on GitHub) can upvote suggestions. The
Calculator team reviews these suggestions regularly, and when we're ready to work on an idea we
create feature pitch issues here on GitHub.

But using Feedback Hub is not required—you can create feature pitches too! This document
explains the elements of a good pitch and how we'll guide features from a pitch to a finished
product. The Feature Tracking board shows
all the features we're working on and where they're at in the process.

Do I need to follow this process? Can I just start coding and submit a PR?

You do not need to follow this process for bug fixes, performance improvements, or changes to the
development tools. To contribute these changes,
discuss the proposed change in an issue
and then submit a pull request.

You do need to follow this process for any change which "users will notice". This applies
especially to new features and major visual changes.

Step 1: Feature pitch

Feature pitches are submitted as issues on GitHub using the
Feature Request template.
We encourage discussion on open issues, and as discussion progresses we will edit the issue description to refine the
idea until it is ready for review.

We review pitches regularly, and will approve or close issues based on whether they broadly align with the
Calculator roadmap. Approved pitches are moved
into planning on the feature tracking board.

Step 2: Planning

For most features, the output of this phase is a specification which describes how the feature will work, supported by
design renderings and code prototypes as needed. The original issue will continue to track the overall progress of the
feature, but we will create and iterate on spec documentation in the
Calculator Spec repo. Sometimes we'll learn new things about a feature
proposal during planning, and we'll edit or close the original pitch.

We welcome community participation throughout planning. The best ideas often come from trying many ideas during
the planning phase. To enable rapid
experimentation, we encourage developing and sharing rough ideas—maybe even with pencil and
paper—before making designs pixel-perfect or making code robust and maintainable.

After the spec review is completed, we will move the issue
into implementation on the feature tracking board. In some cases,
all of the details of an idea can be captured concisely in original feature pitch. When that happens, we may move ideas
directly into implementation.

Step 3: Implementation

A feature can be implemented by the original submitter, a Microsoft team member, or by other
community members. Code contributions and testing help are greatly appreciated. Please let everyone know if you're
actively working on a feature to help avoid duplicated efforts from others.

You might be able to reuse code written during the prototype process, although there will typically
be more work required to make the solution robust. Once the code is ready, you can begin
submitting pull requests.

Technical review

As with all changes, the code for new features will be reviewed by a member of the Microsoft team
before being checked in to the master branch.

New features often need a more thorough technical review than bug fixes. When reviewing code for
new features, the Microsoft team considers at least these items:

  • All items on the Accessibility checklist
    should be addressed.
  • All items on the Globalization checklist
    should be addressed.
  • The change should be tested on the oldest version of Windows that the app supports. You can
    find this version number in AppxManifest.xml. Any calls to APIs newer than that version should be
    conditionally enabled.
  • The change should use only supported APIs. If there are any questions about whether legacy or
    undocumented APIs are in use, the Windows App Certification Kit
    should be run to check.
  • The change should save the user's progress if the app is
    suspended and resumed.
    Code to handle these cases should be
    tested in the Visual Studio debugger.
  • If the change has customizations for particular device families,
    it should be tested on those device families.
  • The change should be tested with the app window resized to the smallest possible size.
  • The change should be tested with light, dark, and high contrast themes. It should honor the
    user's preferred accent color.
  • If the change adds new libraries or other dependencies:
    • If the library is packaged with the app, the increased size of the binaries should be
      measured.
    • If the library is not maintained by Microsoft, the Microsoft team will need to set up a
      plan to monitor the upstream library for changes like security fixes.
    • If the library is being used under an open-source license, we must comply with the license
      and credit third parties appropriately.
  • If the change adds code which runs during the app's startup path, or adds new XAML elements
    which are loaded at startup:
    • Run the perf tests to measure any increase in startup time. Move work out of the startup
      path if possible.
  • If the change adds additional logging:
    • All logging should use
      TraceLogging.
    • Unnecessary log events should be removed, or configured so that they are collected only when
      needed to debug issues or measure feature usage.
  • If the change reads user data from files or app settings:
    • Verify that state saved in a previous version of the app can be used with the new version.
  • If the change makes network requests:
    • Microsoft must plan to keep these dependencies secure and functional for the lifetime of
      the app (which might be several years).
    • The app should be fully functional if some network requests are slow or fail. Tools like
      Fiddler
      can be used to simulate slow or failed requests.

Step 4: Final product review and merge to master

After the technical review is complete, the product team will review the finished product to make
sure the final implementation is ready to release to Windows customers.

Windows Calculator Roadmap

Windows Calculator is under active development by Microsoft.

Focus

In 2021, the Windows Calculator team is focused on:

  • Iterating upon the existing app design based on the latest guidelines for Fluent Design and WinUI.
  • Unblocking community contributions by identifying and addressing bottlenecks affecting developers, including:
    • Migrating the codebase to C# (#893)
    • Releasing infinite-precision engine as standalone package (#1545) and adding support for arbitrary expression parsing (#526)
    • Adding a settings page (#596)
  • [Your feature idea here] - please review our new feature development process to get started!

We welcome contributions of all kinds from the community, but especially those that support the efforts above. Please see our contributing guidelines for more information on how to get involved.

Releases

Windows Calculator is included in every Windows 10 release as a provisioned Windows app. We also deliver updates through the Microsoft Store approximately monthly.
