How to Use the Markdown Calculator
Supported Operations
- Basic arithmetic: + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division)
- Exponents: ^ (e.g., 2^3 = 8)
- Square roots: sqrt() (e.g., sqrt(9) = 3)
- Parentheses: () for grouping (e.g., (2+3)*4 = 20)
- Constants: π (pi) and e (Euler's number)
Markdown Formatting
The calculator preserves Markdown formatting in both input and output:
- Code formatting with backticks: `2 + 3`
- Bold text with double asterisks: **Result**
- Lists with dashes or numbers

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What operations does the Markdown Calculator support?
The calculator supports basic arithmetic (+, -, *, /), exponents (^), square roots (sqrt()), parentheses for grouping, and constants (π and e).
2. How do I format calculations in Markdown?
You can wrap expressions in backticks (`) for code formatting, use ** for bold text, and maintain other Markdown formatting like lists and headings.
3. Does the calculator preserve my Markdown formatting?
Yes, the calculator preserves your Markdown formatting while processing the mathematical expressions within it.
4. What happens if I divide by zero?
The calculator will return an error message indicating division by zero is not allowed.
5. How precise are the calculations?
Calculations are performed with JavaScript's floating-point precision (about 15-17 significant digits).
6. Can I use variables in my calculations?
No, the current version doesn't support variables. You need to enter complete numerical expressions.
7. How do I represent exponents?
Use the caret symbol (^). For example, 2^3 calculates 2 to the power of 3, which equals 8.
8. Can I calculate square roots of negative numbers?
No, the calculator will return an error for square roots of negative numbers as it only handles real numbers.
9. How do I use parentheses in calculations?
Use parentheses to group operations, like (2+3)*4. The calculator follows standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
10. Can I calculate more complex mathematical functions?
The current version supports basic operations. For trigonometric, logarithmic or other advanced functions, consider using a more advanced calculator.
