are you looking for any root value

like square root, cubic root, 4th root, etc?

cause if so, here’s a fun project to check out!

When making a calculator function, you need to:

1. Figure out what mathematical steps to take to calculate the result.
2. Figure out how to code those steps in Thunkable.

If you provide #1, I can provide you with help on #2. Just post a list for #1 and a screenshot for #2 showing how you’ve attempted it and I can help you correct anything that isn’t working.

the square of 5 is written as 5^2 - in other words, 5 raised to 2.  
the square ROOT of 5 is written as 5^(1/2) - in othere words, 5 raised to (1/2)

the same applies for any root.

i didnt get a chance to look inside but here are my observations.

1. there is no decimal point
2. what is (\<) sign for ? (green buttton at right upper corner)?
3. the sequence of numbers in a calculator is 1,2,3 top row, 4,5,6, etc
4. the reciprocal key fails on the 3rd press? as long as it’s not zero, it should have an answer that flip flops between 2 values - on the 3rd press, i get infinity  
you’re getting close, though!

You should avoid using math symbols ( \< ) for other functions.
