C# Tutorial - Extending the Applications

The two applications that we have built in this section have a wide scope for being extended. Now is a good opportunity to discuss some of the features that could be added that you may want to try and implement yourself.

Scientific Calculator

• Sin
• Cos
• Tan
• Sinh
• Cosh
• Tanh
• Asin
• Acos
• Atan
• x2
• x3
• xy
• log10
• ln
• Exp
• e
• PI

Also included on the scientific calculator is the ability to work in different bases, such as base 2 and base 16. You could add logic operators. The possibilities are extensive.

Digital Clock

This could be extended to become a countdown timer or a stopwatch. You could add the current date, or include milliseconds. You could add a second timer so that you have the time for two time zones, or to be used in a game of chess. Again the possibilities are extensive.
