Kalk

This is a really great calculator, will definitely be using it! FYI I noticed there is a very similar product with the same name: https://kalk.dev/

This looks extremely useful, even though currently makes quite a few mistakes, as noted by others. A few features that could be nice: 1) It handles 1 000 000 * 3 just fine, but…

I usually use the interactive Python prompt when doing calculations, but kalk takes it up a notch. Well done! (The pre-built Linux binary segfaults before it can show the result…

An interactive calculator that passes the 0.1+0.2 test, very nice.

Beautiful Web GUI, beautiful source code, "cargo install kalk_cli" && it works like a charm! Thanks for sharing this.

For fun, try to run this: `2 + 2 * 10%` in all calculators you have access to: on you phone, on your desktop, in kalk. As they say, "the answer will surprise you" :)

Wolfram Alpha and iOS also give 2.2 On MacOS the answer is 2.4 In kalk it's 2.002 On Windows it's 0.4 in simple calc, and 2 in programmer calc (and there's no % in engineering…

Is there an explanation for the answer in kalk? Seems buggy It seems like an expression like "1 * 10%" in kalk is computed as if it means "1% * 10%" => "0.01 * 0.1" => "0.001"

Any calculation, even simple ones ``` >> 1+2 fish: Job 1, './kalk-linux' terminated by signal SIGILL (Illegal instruction) ```

This seems off: ``` >> f(x) = x^2 >> f''(4) 0.9995297887 ```

Note that if f(x) = x^2 then the second derivative f''(x) = 2, so it looks like you're off by a factor of 2 (as well as the accuracy issue).

Can you support big numbers? When I input 3^4^5, it outputs infinity.

The desktop program does technically have the capabilities of that, but lately I've been focusing a lot more on the web version, that unfortunately doesn't, so results are 64-bit…

Yeah the name isn't very good. This wasn't actually supposed to become something, it was a quick thing I made when I was bored, that suddenly expanded into all this, haha. I like…

I immediately found a few Unicode features I hoped were supported but aren’t. Superscripts: firstly numerals, like 3² = 9, but ideally then letters as well, e.g. 3ⁱ = 3^i. Might…

> At least as an optional setting (even though I have no idea why someone wouldn't want that). Copy/pasting? At least each three zeroes could alternate in color, to make it…

Any interest in adding more symbolic stuff? There often isn't really any reason to do derivatives numerically. While I was looking at the derivatives I noticed the word…

I have thought about doing derivatives and such algebraically when possible. It should certainly be doable, and I already have a system for moving things around to achieve these…

Pity it's not in homebrew. I realize I can manually download a binary and manually install it and make a note somewhere where I got it from in case I forget and then periodically…

Yeah maybe it should be on homebrew and other package managers. Didn't actually expect it to get this much attention! I'll see what I can do

Congrats! I write calculators myself from time to time, but this sounds very impressive :) How was your experience using webassembly? Any good guides that helped you with that…

For what it’s worth, my first session went like this: ``` >> e^iπ+1 2.6974097548 + 2.6435590641i >> e^iπ 1.6974097548 + 2.6435590641i ``` In fairness, I still don’t know where…

Performing the calculation with Soulver did not surprise me (being what I calculated in my head ahead of time): ``` 2 + 2 × 10% = 2.2 ``` At the risk of admitting my ignorance,…

I'm a big fan of https://qalculate.github.io/. It has a nice GUI which can be used interchangeably with the CLI version. It also has units, many built-in physical constants,…

If you're looking for something more advanced while still at the command prompt, check out "calc": http://isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/ On Fedora: sudo dnf install calc ;…

> though mine takes sort of the opposite approach, input and manipulation is very visual. There is already opensource app for that: microMathematics Plus (μMath+) — Extended…
