mcl/README.md

mcl

a math command line.

features

currently supports:

• lossy/non-exact math (will not store fractions)
• basic math functions (e.g. sqrt, normal + inverse trig functions, abs)
• variables (currently do basically nothing)

planned features:

• exact math (radicals, fractions, etc.)
• solving equations
• a custom math language
  • scripting support
  • user defined functions will most of these features ever actually be added? probably not. but wishful thinking is important!

usage

you can evaluate math in a couple ways while getting the result automatically:

$ mcl eval "1 + 1"
$ echo "1 + 1" | mcl

you can also use the repl to evaluate math:

$ mcl
> 1 + 1
2

for full usage, see mcl -h
