Applied PER calculator
Application that calculates the results of specific exercises for the Pleasure Boat Pattern (PER) test
Technical summary of the project
The app has been developed in Android Studio based on Kotlin, it implements a side menu based on navigation drawer that shows fragments with the different operating screens available.
When the necessary values are entered, the app calculates the possible results. It is for this reason a calculator-type app although applied to a specific niche.
Funcionality
The internal calculations are relatively basic as the algorithms are based on simple equations. The most interesting point in terms of mathematical operations is the “Calculation of headings” part, here the app solves with three equations that relate a total of 6 mathematical terms, the advantage of the algorithm is that it solves the first equation and if the resulting data allow the resolution of another one, it also resolves it and performs the check again in case the new data could solve another equality. In this way, if the initial data allows it, all the chain equations are calculated, returning the complete result of the exercise in a single step.
