Making a step by step calculator

Question

Do any of you know what coding language, would be appropriate for making a step by step calculator. A calculator that for example should be able to calculate the equilibrum between two functions, finding the roots of a equation and so on. It has to be made either on the web or just a normal program. Just like www.emathhelp.net. Any suggestions? :-)

lol. I can’t get Django to work for me either. 😂 Anyway, perhaps JavaScript would be a great language? You can combine this win HTML and CSS, and upload the files to a host with no extra libraries needed. JavaScript too, has tons of libraries, though it already can do amazing mathematical calculations. If it’s for a website, I think JavaScript is the way to go.

Answer 2

Most languages could accomplish this. It’s really up to you. Python had many libraries. Perhaps there is something special to fit your needs there?

Hmm... not sure. I don’t use many libraries besides JQuery and such. Sorry about that, but good luck!

Answer 4

What language would you recommend? I just need a simple easy language, with rich opportunities for math. I have been looking at Python partly because every guide says it’s the simplest, but setting a website up with Django is so confusing. I appreciate your advice!! :-)

Answer 5

lmao, I gave up on it today. The language in python is actually fine, but having to make a website that works with it through Django is hard. I think I might go with JavaScript combined with HTML. That seems to be a good choice. Do you have any recommendations for libraries besides math.js? The only things I need is the opportunity to solve an equation for a variable, and being able to substitute a variable within a equation, with a value stored in another variable or value.

e.g. substituting g = 5 into the equation; f(x)=10x^2+3x+10
