Description

Problem Statement

science mode should support an easy button to change result format from decimal mode to fractional mode.

Evidence or User Insights

In most of scientific calculator, a single button is added to support this funciton to satify different requirement. Can you add this in it?

Proposal

An easy button to switch mode

Goals

when I calculate 3 divide 9, the result 0.333333333... will be given out. But sometimes I need a more accurate result TIM截图20190309144526 in fractional format. Because my works need my result to show in fractional. May be a little button is needed to switch result.

Non-Goals

Low-Fidelity Concept

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing UI for science mode and locate where result formats are handled. Study how decimal and fractional results are currently represented and identify where to add a toggle button.
