How to Use the On-Screen Calculator An on-screen calculator is available to you for this test. To access the calculator during the test, click on the icon, which appears in the upper left corner of the screen. The calculator may be viewed in either "standard" or "scientific" format. To toggle between the two formats, click on the "View" menu that appears at the top of the calculator and select either "scientific" or "standard." The scientific and standard formats are shown below. Scientific Standard Please be aware that when entering decimal numbers containing multiple zeros to the right of the decimal point, only the first zero will appear in the display until a nonzero digit is entered. For example: When 0.0005 is entered, only 0.0 appears in the display until the 5 is entered. Likewise 0.00034005 appears as 0.0 until the 3 is entered, and then appears as 0.000340 until the 5 is entered. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliate(s). All rights reserved.

Practicing Before Your Test If you have access to a computer running Windows, you may practice using an on-screen calculator by opening the Windows calculator application. From the Start menu, go to Programs > Accessories > Calculator. If the "standard" calculator is visible and you would like to use the "scientific" version, from the calculator menu, go to View > Scientific. The Windows scientific calculator is very similar to the calculator you will use on the VUE computer-based test. If you would like further information about how to use the Windows calculator, from the calculator menu go to Help > Help Topics and select a topic.

A Cross-Platform Programmer's Calculator
– Independent Work Report Fall, 2015 – A Cross-Platform Programmer’s Calculator Brian Rosenfeld Advisor: Robert Dondero Abstract This paper details the development of the ﬁrst cross-platform programmer’s calculator. As users of programmer’s calculators, we wanted to address limitations of existing, platform-speciﬁc options in order to make a new, better calculator for us and others. And rather than develop for only one- platform, we wanted to make an application that could run on multiple ones, maximizing its reach and utility. From the start, we emphasized software-engineering and human-computer-interaction best practices, prioritizing portability, robustness, and usability. In this paper, we explain the decision to build a Google Chrome Application and illustrate how using the developer-preview Chrome Apps for Mobile Toolchain enabled us to build an application that could also run as native iOS and Android applications [18]. We discuss how we achieved support of signed and unsigned 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit integral types in JavaScript, a language with only one numerical type [15], and we demonstrate how we adapted the user interface for different devices. Lastly, we describe our usability testing and explain how we addressed learnability concerns in a second version. The end result is a user-friendly and versatile calculator that offers value to programmers, students, and educators alike. 1. Introduction This project originated from a conversation with Dr. Dondero in which I expressed an interest in software engineering, and he mentioned a need for a good programmer’s calculator. Dr. Dondero uses a programmer’s calculator while teaching Introduction to Programming Systems at Princeton (COS 217), and he had found that the pre-installed Mac OS X calculator did not handle all of his use cases.

Introduction to Windows 10 Part 2
Introduction to Windows 10 Part 2 Higham and Rushden U3A In this presentation we will have a quick look at the following: • Window structure • Ease of Access • File Deletion • Control Panel And the following applications: • Sound • Audio CDs Notepad • Ripping music from CDs WordPad • Digital pictures Paint Calculator Photos Windows Defender Windows Firewall Windows Update Window Structure When you open a folder, or start a Windows function or application program on the Desktop, it normally appears as a window that can be moved and resized. File Explorer (the icon) is shown below. Click the Maximize button to view the window using the whole screen, and the Restore button appears in place of it. Note that the ribbon view as shown here is now the norm for most Microsoft programs, but not all: Notepad, for example, still has an older-style Menu Bar. Ease of Access Windows 10 Settings also allow you to set up Ease of Access options on your computer, to improve accessibility. First open Settings, then click on Ease of Access. Select Magnifier to turn Magnifier on, invert colours and enable tracking (to have Magnifier follow the keyboard focus or the mouse cursor). Select Mouse to adjust the pointer size, change the pointer colour or use the numeric keypad to move the mouse around the screen. You can also manage use of the screen, keyboard and other options such as cursor thickness. To make the typing cursor easier to spot, for example, select “Other options” then drag the slider for “Cursor thickness” until it is the size you’d like.

4 Working with WSH Objects
4 Working with WSH objects In the preceding chapter I have discussed a few basics of script programming. We have also used a few objects, methods and properties. In this chapter I would like to extend your knowledge how to use the Windows Scripting Host, to automate certain tasks. Take a look how to read the properties of the WScript object and display them in a dialog box. This allows you to retrieve the most impor- tant information from WSH and of the current script. Or access the environment variables of your operating system using a script. Another sample demonstrates how to access the arguments passed to a WSH script (a topic which we know from chapter 1). Accessing other objects requires creating these objects. Below I will discuss, how the methods CreateObject and GetObject are used with WScript objects. And I like to show how to launch an external application from a script using the Run method. NOTE: At this place I recommend download a copy of the WSH Programmers Reference from Microsoft's website http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting. This reference comes handy for the upcoming chapters. Using the WScript object The WScript object is the application object of the Windows Script Host. This object is exposed automatically to the running script. So you need not to create a reference to the WScript object. The object exposes several methods and properties. In previous chapters we already have used the methods Echo and Quit of this object. Below I will show how you can access the object's proper- ties.

How to Remove Bloatware from Windows 10 While Windows 10 Does Come with a Reasonably Large Amount of Bloatware, It Is Also Relatively Easy to Get Rid of It
How to Remove Bloatware from Windows 10 While Windows 10 does come with a reasonably large amount of bloatware, it is also relatively easy to get rid of it. Microsoft has provided two options: using the traditional uninstall feature or by using the PowerShell. The Traditional Uninstall Bloatware isn’t listed within the Programs and Features list (Windows + X, then F) that you would normally use to uninstall a program. Microsoft and other manufacturers who deliver products with bloatware stand to proﬁt from your using them, so making it easy to uninstall isn’t in their best interest. You can right-click the application and select uninstall from the context menu. This appears to work for several apps included in the Windows 10 installation package, such as Money, News, Sports, and a few others clogging up your Start menu. Use Powershell to Hide or Remove Apps Microsoft has made it simple to remove the more cosmetic items attached to Windows 10, but you’ll quickly ﬁnd that not all apps are considered equal. Those apps Microsoft considers part of the core Windows 10 experience will require you to use the PowerShell to hide, or remove them. Others, such as Cortana simply cannot be removed from your system, despite your best efforts. The PowerShell is an important part of the Windows command line. In this case, you can use the PowerShell to either hide or remove the apps installed with Windows 10. Open the PowerShell command line by typing PowerShell into your Start menu search bar. The best match should be Windows PowerShell.

Microsoft Windows Tips
Microsoft Windows Tips These tips have been accumulated over the years for the SISD Announcements. They are in no particular order. Moving an Off-Screen Window Sometimes a window will get positioned off of your screen where you can't see the title bar. It is possible to move the window, and it's not that hard to do. Just open the program that is giving you the problem, and do the following: 1. Press Alt + spacebar + M. 2. Press the down arrow repeatedly until your title bar appears. Now you have full use of the title bar, and can minimize, maximize, and close your program more easily. Note that you can use this technique to move a window in ANY direction; just press Alt + spacebar + M and then press the appropriate arrow key. Windows Logo Key Shortcut Combinations Have you ever wondered what the Windows Logo key on your keyboard was for? Try the following shortcuts using that key. W stands for the Windows Logo key. W Open Start menu W + E Open Windows Explorer W + F Find a file or folder W + F1 Start Windows Help W + M Minimize all windows with minimize buttons SHIFT + W + M Maximize all windows that were minimized with the previous shortcut W + R Display the Run dialog box W + TAB Select open programs listed in the taskbar, in order. Press ENTER to activate the selected program. Maximize a Window Using the Title Bar If you ever have trouble clicking on the Maximize button, a quick way to maximize an application window is to double-click on the title bar.
