WarpCalc
WarpCalc is a calculator package with both CLI and GUI versions. The two versions share the same core capabilities, which include those of any regular scientific calculator. In addition you can define your own functions and variables.
Features
- A whole calculation can be entered, reviewed and edited at once.
- Plenty of standard mathematical functions are built-in, including trigonometric and hyperbolic.
- Seamlessly expandable with user-defined variables and functions.
- Temporary variables can be created on-the-fly using the assignment operator anywhere in an expression.
- User configurable result formatting (e.g., engineering or hexadecimal notation) and precision (up to 15 significant digits).
Graphical User Interface
- Both the keyboard and the mouse can be used for input.
- Repetitive evaluation with side-effects such as variable incrementing.
- The last result, input history (option), as well as all user-defined symbols are saved between sessions.
- Online help with reference section including the SI units and prefixes.
- Localized signs for multiplication, division and decimal separator.
- Automatic copying of results to the clipboard. (option)
Among the new features in the latest version is an alternative window layout with push buttons for more functions, as well as buttons for quick conversion to any of the four common number bases. This layout is only a double-click away:
- Recognizes binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers, as well as sexagesimals (minutes and seconds).
- Conversion between the different number bases (binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal).
- Easily navigated input and output histories.
Valuable desktop space can be saved when only using the keyboard:
Command Line Interface
The CLI version can be passed a mathematical expression as a command line argument like this:
As with the GUI version it is also possible to pass more than one expression at once, separating the different expressions with semicolons:
