README
Helix Calc is a simple Reverse Polish Notation calculator.
It's written in Rust, using Ratatui for the cross-platform interface and bigdecimal-rs for the internal operations.
The name is inspired by Helix Editor, and the functionality by the venerable GNU dc.
This is a toy app that fulfills my personal needs, but I'm open to PR :)
Operations
+,-,*,/: perform the arithmetic operation on the top two values.%: compute the modulo of the second value divided by the first.^: raise the second value to the power of the first.P: pop the top value off the stack.d: duplicate the top value.v: compute the square root of the top value.k: pop the top value and use it to set the precision.r: swap the first two values.- [Up]: edit the value at the top of the stack.
Negative numbers
Two options to enter them:
- Type them as
_123. - Type them as
123-(careful, no space).
Limitations
By default, BigDecimal is compiled with a max precision of 100 digits: beyond that size, decimal places will be dropped, even if the integer part can handle much larger numbers.
