A calculator is a device that is used for performing mathematical calculations. It differs from a computer by having a limited problem solving ability and an interface optimized for interactive calculation rather than programming. Calculators can be hardware or software, mechanical or electronic, and are often built into devices such as PDAs or mobile phones .

A calculator is a device for performing calculations . Although modern calculators often incorporate a general purpose computer, the device as a whole is designed for ease of use to perform specific operations, rather than for flexibility. Also, modern calculators are more portable than most computers, though some PDAs are comparable in size to handheld calculators.

A calculator is a device for performing numerical calculations . The type is considered distinct from both a calculating machine and a computer in that the calculator is a special-purpose device that may not qualify as a Turing machine . Although modern calculators often incorporate a general purpose computer, the device as a whole is designed for ease of use to perform specific operations, rather than for flexibility. Also, modern calculators are far more portable than other devices called computers.

A calculator is a device for performing numerical calculations . It should not be confused with a calculating machine . Nowadays many people have a calculator with them as part of their mobile phone and/or personal digital assistant . Engineers and accountants make use of calculators for problems where a computation is not complex enough to demand the use of a general-purpose computer . Students use calculators for schoolwork. Also, some wrist watches contain a calculator (although this was more a fad of the 1980s ).
