Calculator
A calculator is a hand-held device for performing
calculations. Although modern calculators often incorporate a general purpose
computer, the device is designed for performing specific operations, rather than for flexibility. For example, there are
graphing calculators which focus on graph-centered math like
trigonometry and
statistics. Also, modern calculators are more portable than most computers, though some
PDAs are comparable in size to handheld calculators.
