What scripting language for making calculators?

Sandie2018 · Dec 21, 2019

Hi,
I need to create several different calculators for my sites. What scripting langue is good for that and the easiest to learn as I am a total newbie?
Thanks

Isn't javascript ok for calculator?

Sandie2018 · Dec 21, 2019

Thanks for the suggestion.

Like any language really, pick one you're familiar with.
Python is very used for data science though.

I had heard something about BASIC too. But nah, javascript much better

Since it's for your website I'd definitely suggest javascript as well.

I suggest you use javascript.

JS would be good

Javascript. If you want the logic to be hidden, then use a backend language like php/node for logic, and get results with ajax.

Thank you for all suggestions. I will try them out.

To build something future-proof try to avoid any vanilla js or jquery horrorshows - make sure you build it with something modern like Vue which is fast and has good state management (Vuex). https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/

Here's some calculator examples as a reference:

You know nothing about what can be achieved with simple vanillaJS (even with jQuery if needed), then. It's perfectly manageable if you know what you are coding. Your vue.js runs on what? VanilaJS, right?

Ofcourse it's JS.

Yes I suppose if you enjoy making things more painful than they need to be.. ie, good luck managing one-way data flow, reactivity, and re-usable components without a modern framework like Vue or React!

Seems kind of like deciding to make a sandwich starting from harvesting raw wheat... sure, you could do it... but why would you when you can just go buy a loaf of bread?

React is overrated. vue.js is okay, but still unnecessary. You could still reuse your code, again; if you know what you are doing. It's all about the design. You write shit, you will get shit out of it.
