#Calculation Component

Tired of your regular boring basic Microsoft Calculator utility? Though it suffices to most users, some require that extra calculating power in the digital versions of their traditional calculators.

#Calculation Component is a versatile powerful calculation tool which integrates expression parsing and evaluation into your applications through an ActiveX component. The real power of #Calculation Component is seen in areas where the user is required to define a formula of his own which would then be used in calculation, and in areas where more than one formula are required to be defined and executed in real time.

#Calculation Component’s appetite for numbers is huge – it supports your regular mathematics, and then various functions, string, date, time, logical operators, and even matrix and array operations. And if that was not enough, various numerical systems, comments, and custom functions are also supported. The latest version has added some new features while ironing out some bugging bugs.

With such power to boot, you must be expecting a multi-MB download, right? There lies the catch – the download is just 522.5KB. Who says good things don’t come in small packages?

#Calculation component is a powerful calculation engine for your applications. This ActiveX component integrates expression parsing and evaluation. Generally speaking, #Calculation is very useful in two main areas: first, when a formula has to be defined and evaluated at runtime (for example, when the end user is allowed to enter a formula that will be evaluated and used); second, when a set of formulas that depend on each other are defined, configured, and evaluated at run-time. #Calculation Component supports conventional math, string, date&time, logical operators and functions, and is suitable for heavy-duty number crunching. It also allows defining variables and sets of related formulas that implement spreadsheet-like recalculations. It can also support Matrix and Array operations (just like MATLAB), comments, different numerical systems and custom functions in expressions.
