Calculator project - feedback request

Code Feedback

Hi everyone, I have completed a fairly solid working draft of my work on the calculator project.

My calculator is here:

Any and all constructive feedback would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ben

Thanks for the feedback, randelldawson,

I wonder what causes 0.7 + 0.1 to result in 0.79999? Is this a known js issue?

When I key in 1 / 7 * 7 = I do get 1.

When I key in - 4 + 5 = I do get 1.

I did NOT mean to allow multiple clicks of the same operator to combine the last result with itself. That is actually a feature calculators (used to, at least) have, but it was not intended in this case. I’ll get on it.

Hi randelldawson, I read and searched until blue in the face for a couple of days. Could not find a good solution to all the issues like 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000004, 0.3 - 0.1 = 0.1999999999 etc., except fixing num of decimal places arbitrarily and/or rounding up (again arbitrarily and with truncation). FINALLY I found big.js and this was a nice fix for those.

However it does not fix 1 / 7 = and then * 7 = results in 0.9999999999 even with big.js. So I’m asking - Is there even a fix for this?

(I note that the example calculator given for the FreeCodeCamp project has all these same issues.)

Thanks
