Something I know people have been wanting for around 30 years!

Better programming modes in PCalc are coming, including a full 64-bit binary mode, and 2’s complement support at a variety of word sizes.

In the current TestFlight beta, there’s now an “Extended Precision” option which allows that, more decimal places, and longer numbers.

Would love more testing on this, so if you are interested, you can join the Mac TestFlight here:

iOS here:

Join the PCalc beta Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps. testflight.apple.com

A screenshot of PCalc on the Mac in octal mode, showing 1777777777777777777777. That’s a lot of sevens. A screenshot of PCalc on the Mac in decimal mode, showing merely -1.
