The new Windows 10 calculator tells you your weight in elephants (and more)

Calculator in Windows 10

Ever wondered what 210 pounds was in elephants? What about calories in units of bananas or length measured in jumbo jets?

At present you can know these things because Microsoft has programmed them into the Windows 10 calculator, a new universal Windows app that likewise appears on Windows Phone.

The thought that Microsoft is making its standard utility apps equally universal Windows apps is not new. Windows 10 has already given us the new alarms and sound recorder apps for example. Withal, this is the first time we accept seen Microsoft go a little derisive and creative with something every bit banal equally a calculator.

The functions work for various conversions like length, weight, and energy. Typing in a number lets you convert that figure into another unit of measurement e.yard. Food calories to Kilojoules. The fun stuff happens below that where an 'About equals to' department gives additional conversions like BTU, Cal, and the concluding 1, bananas.

Although it is silly, it is not without utilise. Units of measurement in and of themselves do not necessarily convey existent globe agreement. Tossing in an elephant, jumbo jet or banana is a not bad manner to put things in perspective, which makes it a useful tool in addition to being entertaining.

We hope Microsoft puts more clever things similar this throughout the Bone. Much like using Windows Phone, it makes using the operating system, dare nosotros say, delightful?
