Microsoft/Calculator

With the new shipped out; Windows operating system comes with new features that are added or improved to make the experience of the operating system more desirable for its users. One of these improves features is the calculator feature added to the new operating system (Windows 10).

Information:

From the first look, it appears to have a new modern look.  It comes with the old standard operations, as well as improved Scientific Calculator functionality, Currency conversion (based on data from Bing), etc. More information about this app could be found on the GitHub link.  It's written in Cpp and C#.

Why you found it interesting?

Release 0.3 Completed !

From the beginning to now; of taking DPS909, release 0.3 has been the most frustrating period. This doesn't have anything to do with writing code or with issues, no. The most frustrating has to be waiting for my issue to be reviewed and watching my code have a conflict with what is in the master on gitHub. Backtracking for a bit, the main idea of release 0.3 is to have two pull requests, one has to be internal and one has to external. The internal was to have any improvement in our course's blog feed website; planet cdot . The external had to be an issue we found on GitHub like before expect it had to have a more meaningful contribution.  Internal The issue I chose to solve was to find a way to have the website be able to translate the text into any language.

What I later found out google stopped sup...
