| What is a 10 Key Calculator? |
The most interesting fact about a 10 Key calculator is that the operator is added after the number. So pressing '3 - 4 + *' yields an answer of +1, not -1. The minus sign was applied to the 3 and made it a negative number, the plus sign was applied to the 4 and made it a positive number. The * (asterick) is like an = (equal) key.
