The Evolution of the Financial Calculator Software

Image
  The story behind the evolution of my   Financial Calculator   software — from a simple internship project in Iran to a fully international product! The original project was created for an " E-Business " course and was later registered as " Basic Financial Calculator ". That’s why the “0” in this video actually represents two separate early versions.  https://youtu.be/-R3erbO9yr4 Since its inception in 2011, the Financial Calculator has grown through multiple versions, each adding new features, languages, and improved interfaces. Below is a timeline of its development, highlighting key milestones and enhancements. Development Timeline: 2011 (Initial Prototype): Developed as a university internship project in C#, originally named Basic Financial Calculator (in Persian). It included 8 sections and was released publicly as a free tool. 2014 (Version 1): Rewritten in Object Pascal, available only in English, and expanded to 10 sections for broader functionality. 2015 (...

In the Building section, pressing the New button didn’t completely reset all values. Also, some buttons didn’t warn the user when no calculation had been done yet.

Financial Calculator has been updated to Version 7.4!

We released two updates on the same day! Financial Calculator version 7.4 is now available, fixing three issues . Errors #1 and #2 were fixed in version 7.3, and error #3 is now fixed in 7.4. Changes & Fixes: 1. Fixed an occasional error when initializing texts in the payment section. 2. Added support for different decimal formats in price values — whether the price has many decimals or fewer (e.g., 2, 6, or 8). 3. Fixed scientific-notation issues for very small prices. For example, a value such as 0.00000012 being shown as 1.2e-7 previously caused a payment error — this is now fully resolved.
