BlueJ.ScientificCalculator

Description

• Objective - To implement an ScientificCalculator which displays output of basic and scientific computations.
• Purpose - To establish familiarity with:
  • Object state
  • Teamwork 👍

Git Collaboration

• Click the fork button in the top right corner to create a copy of this repository on your github account.
  • You can go through the GitHub forking tutorial if you need additional practice with this.
• You should work on this project in your own repository.

Requirements

Testing

• All features must be tested.
• Tests must include normal behavior, and any possible error situations.
• Tests must have descriptive names and should be independent of each other (running or not running one test should not influence the behavior of any other test).

Documentation

• You must produce UML diagrams for your program.
• All classes (excluding test classes) must be included in the UML class diagrams.
• Your UML must be approved by an instructor by 5PM on Friday.

Core Features

• All calculators should have the following features:

  • A state, representing the value currently displayed on the calculator (default 0)
  • Get the current number on the display
  • Clear the display
  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide the value on the display by a given number
  • Calculate the square (x²) and square root (√x) of the number on the display
  • Calculate variable exponentiation (x^y)
  • Calculate the inverse of the number on the display (1/x)
  • Invert the sign of the number on the display (switch between positive and negative)
  • Update the display to Err if an error occurs (eg: Division by zero)
    • Errors must be cleared before any other operation can take place

• Each operation should automatically update the display

Scientific Features

• Switch display mode (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal)
  • switchDisplayMode() should rotate through the options
  • switchDisplayMode(String mode) should set the display to the mode given
• Memory - Store up to one numeric value in memory for recall later (default to 0) *
  • (M+ key) Add the currently displayed value to the value in memory (store in memory and update display) *
  • (MC key) Reset memory *
  • (MRC key) Recall the current value from memory to the display *
• Trig functions
  • Sine - Calculate the sine of the displayed value and display it
  • Cosine - Calculate the cosine of the displayed value and display it
  • Sine.Tangent - Calculate the tangent of the displayed value and display it
  • Inverse Sine
  • Inverse Cosine
  • Inverse Sine.Tangent
• Switch trig units mode (Degrees, Radians)
  • switchUnitsMode() should rotate through the options
  • switchUnitsMode(String mode) should set the trig units to the type given

Bonus

• Factorial function
• Logarithmic functions
  • Log
  • 10^x (inverse logarithm)
  • Ln (natural logarithm)
  • e^x (inverse natural logarithm)

Custom Features

In addition to the Core and Scientific features, you are required to create at least two of your own features for the calculator. They can be any two features that are not already covered and that you can implement as you see fit. These features must be properly tested.

Hints

The following functions should take the displayed value (x) and updated it according to the given formula: (this may not be an exhaustive list)

• square(): x²
• squareRoot(): √x
• inverse(): ¹/_x
• switchSign(): -x
• sine(): sin(x)
• cosine(): cos(x)
• tangent(): tan(x)
• inverseSine(): sin^-1(x)
• inverseCosine(): sin^-1(x)
• inverseTangent(): tan^-1(x)
• factorial(): x! (x factorial)
