NiceCalc is simple, easy to use and powerful calculator with scientific functions, made in a style of pocket calculator. Main advantage over similar S60 products is that NiceCalc does combine fast "just-one-click" interface with broad set of functions. It was designed as a tool that is convenient for both elementary and scientific calculations. For example, the expression "sin2(60) + cos2(60)" can be calculated using NiceCalc in 14 keystrokes. Some known and popular S60 3rd party calculator forces you to press 36 buttons to do the same. One more example: "2 ∙ (–3) + 4". That are 7 clicks on NiceCalc and 16 clicks on the standard (built-in) S60 calculator...
Almost all buttons have two assigned labels. To enter the number or operation displayed on some button, just press the button. To enter the operation displayed above some button, switch to the function mode first (press the button Fn), then press the button itself. Function mode is automatically switched off just after the operation is completed. Actually this is some kind of standard behaviour of real scientific calculators, so should not confuse.
There are two sorts of operations: unary operations (require 1 argument) and binary operations (require 2 arguments). All binary operations have the same priority, ie [2] [+] [3] [*] [4] = 20 and not 24 as it should be according to mathematical rules. This is standard behaviour for calculators too, although there are exceptions (standard PC Windows calculator, for example). Unary operations always have higher priority than binary operations. So [2] [+] [3] [x2] = 11, but [2] [+] [3] [xy] [2] = 25, because [x2] is unary operation, and [xy] is binary operation.
NiceCalc supports so-called "simplified" form of binary operations. For example, to calculate 3 ∙ 3 on NiceCalc, it's enough to enter [3] [*] [=]. To repeat the operation (ie multiply the result, 9, by 3), just press [=] again etc. This feature is quite helpful and it is regular for majority of real calculators, but not implemented in standard S60 calculator for some unknown reason.
