Let's review the basic usage, along with how to easily fix it.
Flick left or right to correct only one character
If you want to correct only one character, you can delete it by flicking left or right at an appropriate place on the screen. You can delete as many times as you flick, so there is no problem even if you accidentally enter a few characters.
Change to a scientific calculator by holding it horizontally
You can use a scientific calculator by holding the iPhone horizontally. For example, if you enter "(" after "3×" to enter "2+5" and tap ")" and "=", "3×(2+5)" returns 21. "mc" stores the value entered in "memory copy", and can be called up with "m+" and "m-" and "mr". Also, if you enter a calculation symbol such as “×” and “=” after entering an appropriate number and then tap “=”, you can keep adding or multiplying the same number. While counting the number of people, it is possible to easily calculate the necessary number of sweets, for example, when serving a fixed number of sweets.
Easily copy the calculation result
Tap and keep tapping the calculation result to copy it. In addition to this, you can "copy the latest result" by pressing the app icon on the home screen with a large area such as the pad of your finger, and you can copy the previous calculation result even when the app is closed.
