15 year old Pratik Mohapatra from Bangalore has developed a mobile app called �Calculator Hub� which is available on the Microsoft App Store. The app is an updated version of �Calculator +� which he had developed earlier.
Says the 10th Std. student from National Public School in Koramangala, �This app gives a variety of options to the user, that too on the same screen of the phone. It includes a BMI Calculator with two options, and you just have to swipe to change, a temperature conversion calculator, a scientific calculator, an age calculator and calculators for simple interest and compound interest. This app was published by
Microsoft very recently..
�My dad bought an Android phone and told me he didn`t like the calculator at all. He didn`t find it comfortable to use and advised me to try and make a calculator app. I started developing apps for Windows phones as I had experience in C#. Moreover, there was no such concept before in the store. I think this is the first app to feature such a thing.
�It was not an easy experience, and I had to learn C# on my own. I faced a lot of problems as I got a lot of errors while debugging. Then I realized I needed to learn more and read more books about C#. I knew there was no shortcut. ," says Pratik, who is an
engineering aspirant.
�I enjoy coding and fixing bugs. I want to pursue BTech and would like to join BITS Pilani� App developing also helps my pocket money. With each download I get for Calculator Hub, I
earn Rs 55.ďż˝
