How does a calculator get programmed or how does it always know the right answer? I’m assuming elves but I could be wrong.
In: Technology
The calculator is a little computer. It does the calculations a lot like how you’d do them on paper (but in binary because it’s a computer). And it does them a lot faster (because it’s a computer).
You know how they taught you in school? To add 1234 and 5678, you do 4+8 which is 12, so write down 2 and carry 1, do 3+7+1 which is 11, so write down 1 and carry 1… etc? The calculator does that (but in binary and at the speed of electronics)
