/*i have tried to provide adequate documentation for this program,
 *believe me i need it more than you!
 *program FFC.(Four-Function Calculator)
 *this has expanded way beyond the four functions...
 *originally a big goal for me to do this,
 *because i'm just learning java (programming in general) 
 *i have books on "C" and "C++" and the general lack of order scares me!!!
 *but then again, i am a programming bitch.
 *jcreator ROCKS for a free download (download.com)
 *v2.1 (09/27/04)
 *2004 benjamin hancock.
 *four-function calculator simulation.
 *has expanded into scientific calculator functions.
 *the 'clear' and 'power-of' functions proved difficult.
 *greatly improved over previous versions.
 *new features include:
 *constant variable change for multiple calculations.
 *improved user interface that includes
 *choosing actual math operators
 *OR a number.
 *in the future looking to apply a GUI.
 *oh yeah, and this stupid comment line.
 *bitch.
 *(09/29/04)expanded to include:
 *additional math functions,
 *and other hoity-toity shit
 *including my illustrious "clear" method
 *bitch.
 *(09/30/04)"fixed" the "power of" function
 *except operates weirdly when power is a floating-point input
