Description

Problem Statement Time consuming to solve mathematical/scientific calculations while being limited to numbers only.

Proposal Add a constant tab where users could import constant values for their mathematical/scientific calculations.

Goal

  • Button for each constant with the name of the constant in bold and the value beneath the constants name in normal text.
  • A search bar for faster navigation than using only the scroll bar.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing tab structure in the calculator UI code, determine where to add a new constants tab, and review how constants data can be stored and searched.
