Meet ‘WolframAlpha’, one of the trending sites on the internet. It can be called as a multitasker as it performs the function of a search engine, encyclopaedia and that of a calculator.
WolframAlpha is a computational knowledge engine developed by Wolfram Research. It answers factual questions directly by comparing your request with externally sourced data instead of providing a vast list of web pages and documents. Hence one need not leaf through each result in search of the apt one, unlike a regular search engine. But it does not answer queries that require a narrative or descriptive response involving comparison.
WolframAlpha can be used to map your friends on Facebook. Connecting it to Facebook helps you to find out how all your friends are connected to one another and can also create a report regarding the repeated use of words in a person’s account and age group of his friends.
It functions as a calculator and can efficiently perform calculations based on multiple sources. You can rely on WolframAlpha from calculating algebra to your daily calories or distance between destinations. Crosswords and scrambles too can be solved easily with a click!
