WordCalc is a Word 2013 app that can solve mathematical
expressions within a Word document. It supports following functions and
operators:
Operators: +, -,
*, /, and ^
Functions: sin, cos,
tan, asin, acos, atan, sqrt, abs, floor, ceil, log, min, max, and avg
The functions min, max and avg takes 2 arguments. The input
to trigonometric functions is assumed to be in radians. All functions are
case insensitive.
How to use
To perform mathematical calculations:
1.
Type a mathematical expression in the Word
document or the textbox provided.
2.
Select the expression from the Word or press enter while entering in textbox.
3.
Find the expected answer in the results window
at the top of the app.

Output
|
+
|
The plus symbol is a binary operator
that is used to calculate the sum of the two numbers.
|
5 + 5
|
5 + 5 = 10
|
-
|
The minus symbol can act as binary and
unary operator. This operator is used to calculate difference between 2
numbers
|
4-2,
10+-2
|
4-2=2,
10+-2=8
|
*
|
The star operator is binary operator
that is used to multiply 2 numbers.
|
2*3
|
2*3=6
|
/
|
The forward slash symbol is division
operator. An attempt to divide by zero will result in “Divide by zero error”.
|
3/2
|
3/2=1.5
|
^
|
The carat symbol is power operator. a^b
calculates b times a.
|
3^2
|
9
|
Sin

input. The input is assumed to be in radians.
|
Sin(1.57)
|
Sin(1.57) = 0.9999996829318346
|
Cos
|
The function calculates cosine of the
input. The input is assumed to be in radians.
|
Cos(1.57)
|
Cos(1.57) = 0.0007963267107332633
|

|
atan(0.9920) = 0.7813821207316063
|
Sqrt
|
The function calculates square root of
positive numbers. For negative numbers it returns “NaN” which means it is not
a number.
|
Sqrt(2)

integer larger than the input
|
Ceil(2.34)
|
Ceil(2.34) = 3
|
Log
|
The function calculates natural log of
the input.
|
Log(10)
|
Log(10) = 2.302585092994046
|
Min
|
The function calculates minimum of 2
numbers.

|
Avg(3,2) = 2.5
|
Note: All functions are case insensitive.
Error Messages
In the case of malformed expressions or errors in
calculations, app will show an error message. Refer to the table below
for possible error messages:
Error Message
|
Explanation
|
Divide by zero error.
|
This error is shown when there is an attempt to divide by zero in the
equation.
|
Selected expression has missing parenthesis.
|
This error is shown when the round parenthesis are not balanced.
|
Insufficient Parameters.
|
This error is shown when the operator does not have enough parameters
to compute the results. For example, 1+ would result in this error.
|
Selected token X is not valid.
|
This error is shown when the App is not able to parse the character X.
|
NaN
|
This error is shown when the result is not a number. For e.g. sqrt(-1)
is imaginary and will result in NaN.
|
Infinity
|
This error is shown when the result is too large.
