Zero calculator

Inspiration

I thought about various useless tools, and it occurred to me that the app should bring zero value. What can be better for a math teacher than a calculator that only deals with operations on 0?

What it does

• adds zero to a number defined by the user;
• subtract zero from a number defined by the user;
• multiply zero by a number defined by the user;
• divide zero by a number defined by the user;
• pretends that any of these operations take a lot of time;
• uses mathjs for calculations

How we built it

I searched for an open API that could do math operations. I came across mathjs and decided to use it.

Challenges we ran into

The plus sign could not be put in the address as it is. I spent a few minutes looking through mathjs examples to figure out how it was supposed to be put in the final link.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The script simply works.

What we learned

Basic operations with 0? Nah. I actually got to practice RESTful API, even though it was very basic.

What's next for Zero calculator

I am thinking to expand its capabilities and add operations with 1. Other number will also be added eventually, but they will be available only for subscribers. Also, GUI with tons of ads and a proper internet speed indicator could be useful. But to be serious, I cannot imagine right now how I could expand on the topic. Maybe I will add some thoughts later.
