2.8.5

Higher

In the spirit of macOS High Sierra, we spent some time to improve Magic Number’s foundation.

The journey actually began in the last update when we introduced an additional form for logarithm, log(a , b). While not groundbreaking, it is the groundwork for functions with multiple inputs or arguments.

This means functions in Magic Number can be as sophisticated as those in spreadsheets and programming languages. And yet they are simpler to use.


Before we begin…

You can use comma or semicolon for function arguments. For examples:

Comma   log (3 , 9)
Semicolon   log (3 ; 9)

Geometric functions

Logarithm perfected

Mixed base calculation

Bitwise improvements

Bug fixes
