What is a "programmable calculator"?
A programmable calculator is a type of calculator that allows users to store and execute a series of calculations or commands automatically. It can be programmed to perform repeated or complex tasks without needing to input the same instructions each time. These calculators are often used in fields like engineering, mathematics, and science, where users need to perform the same set of calculations frequently. Programmable calculators have memory functions that store these instructions, making them efficient for repetitive tasks and saving time. They often have more advanced features compared to basic calculators.
