I made a computer again. It can do a lot of stuff the previous one couldn't and still can't do a lot of stuff I'd like it to be able to do. It definitely can solve quadratic equations. Check the relevant forum thread too. And try tpt.setfpscap(2)!

    There are logic gates in it, yes. FILT, mostly. Check the wiki for more on FILT logic gates. As to what an ALU is, I hate to say this, but you google it. Others have explained way better and in more detail than I'd be able to here in the comments.

    also idk what ALU is. I see that it's used in computers as some way to interpret specific information in front of it, but i dont even understand its exact function.

    Are there any logic gates in this thingy? I know it's an oddly basic question, but none of my questions can be anymore relevant.

    No lol. This demo can do 10^x (and basically any a^x) just fine without huge lookup tables (meaning small ones are enough). Most trigonometric functions are no different, with the power of shift-and-add. Google CORDIC.

    @LBPHacker Wouldn't that require a lot more memory?

    Hey, sure! Sine/cosine is easier than square root.

    can you make the sine function in the next vertion.

    Nice, it handles a=0 :) Excellent work!
