## My process
### Built with
- Semantic HTML5 markup
- CSS custom properties
- Flexbox
- CSS Grid
- Mobile-first workflow
- ES6 JavaScript
### What I learned
One of the key things I learned from this task was how to get a string from an element and convert it to a float or integer.
I also learned how to set a maximum amount of characters into an input field using JS. See snippet below.
```js
function limit(element) {
let max_chars = 8;
if (element.value.length > max_chars) {
element.value = element.value.substring(0, max_chars);
}
}
```
### Continued development
Create a normal calculator
### Useful resources
- [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9841363/how-to-restrict-number-of-characters-that-can-be-entered-in-html5-number-input-f) - This helped me use JS to limit the amount of characters that can be entered into an input field.
- [MDN Web Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseFloat) - This helped me understand how to convert a string into a float.
