Creating a Calculator in Lectora 11

I do.

Would you mind sharing?

Lectora way:

1. add input field A (variable A)

2. add input field B (variable B)

3. add text field named "Result-Text"

4. add variable named "Result"

5. add button called "Plus" with two actions:

5.1. set variable "Result" to VAR(A) + VAR(B)

5.2. change content of "Result-Text" to variable "Result"

6. repeat step 5 for subtraction, division, multiplication or any other math action

Script way:

1. Add a proper JS calculator from http://plugins.jquery.com/kbw.calculator/ or from http://www.jquery4u.com/plugins/5-jquery-mobile-calculation-calculators/ or anywhere else. Or write your own.

Smart way:

1. Consider this: every Windows, Mac, iOS or Android user already has a great, familiar, convenient calculator app in their computer or tablet.

2. Also consider this: every human being has a cell phone that has a calculator function, even if it's a 15-year old Motorola.

Ok - I can get so far but the results do not end up in the results-text box. I get VAR(A)XVAR(B) - so it is like the connection to the Results Text box needs a code but there seems something missing in the instructions below. Can someone help me figure this out? I need better step by step instructions on how to create a calculation

8 X 2 = 16 - 8 = a entry box from the Test/Survey area and same with the 2

= has the variable to click on the equal - OnMCLkModVAR - Target REsult Type Set Equal to Value VAR(A)XVAR(B)

second action - ONMCLKChange - Target - Results-Text Value - Result

It seems that Result is missing the link - not sure how to get it associated to the end result answer

Hey Sergey,

I like your responses especially the "Smart Way"! Wait till someone asks how to build a clock...

For a multiplication button you'll need a variable for the results of your calculation (e.g. "results"), and a textfield to display the variable

1.

On: Click

Action: Modify variable

Target: results

Type: Set equal to

Value: VAR(Entry_0001) (Insert the correct name of the variable associated with the first entry field)

2.

On: Click

Action: Modify variable

Target: results

Type: Multiply Variable by

Value: VAR(Entry_0002)

3.

On: Click

Action: Change contents

Target: Results Tex Block

Value: results
