I was asking my friend if they want to do code a calculator with me then I realized it’s much harder than it looks.
I had tried to build one one time and got the ui down. As I started building the more complex arithmatic (chaining calculations) i realized how insanely complex it actually is. It made me realize how complex the most simple looking apps actually are.
“Psht I’ll never use maths in real life”, maths in real life:
None of the people involved ever said nor thought it.
I never thought that either. It’s a joke, relax.
I like this sentence from the paper linked at the end of the article:
We show how to implement arithmetic […] that is correct, even by the standards of naive users.
