My Tip Calculator is a tip calculator application for iOS.
Submitted by: Eshaan Lumba
Time spent: 6 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is complete:
- User can enter a bill amount, choose a tip percentage, and see the tip and total values.
- User can select between tip percentages by tapping different values on the segmented control and the tip value is updated accordingly
The following optional features are implemented:
- UI animations
- Remembering the bill amount across app restarts (if <10mins)
- Using locale-specific currency and currency thousands separators.
- Making sure the keyboard is always visible and the bill amount is always the first responder. This way the user doesn't have to tap anywhere to use this app. Just launch the app and start typing.
The following additional features are implemented:
- Stepper Party size counter that splits the bill by the number of people paying
- Slider for tip% that goes from 10$-40%
- Keyboard is decimal number keyboard
Here's a walkthrough of the app:
Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
I got stuck a few times when reference connecting the UI objects. I had renamed the IBOutlet variable after reference connecting it, which caused the app to crash. I also took some time when adding the feature that remembers the bill amount across app restarts since I was unsure on what methods to use to implement it. Apart from this, I had no major issues.
