Introduction

Imagine a calculator that is not constrained to under 16 significant digits. Dream no longer, for this calculator will perform most scientific functions to hundreds of significant digits. This was too good to keep to ourselves, so please enjoy.

Constants

Named Constants

The following named constants are available:

Name(s) Approximate value
e 2.718281828459045…
π pi 3.141592653589793…
τ tau 6.283185307179586…

Numeric Constants

A numeric constant can have an integer part, a fractional part, or both, optionally followed by an exponent part:

  • an integer part consists of one or more decimal digits

  • a fractional part consists of a radix point . followed by one or more decimal digits

  • an exponent part consists of E or e, optionally followed by + or -, followed by one or more decimal digits

Examples
1 .5 1.5
1e2 .5e2 1.5e2
1E2 .5E2 1.5E2
1e+2 .5e+2 1.5e+2
1E+2 .5E+2 1.5E+2
1e-2 .5e-2 1.5e-2
1E-2 .5E-2 1.5E-2

Operators

The following operators are available for use in expressions:

Category Precedence Associativity Operator Description Example
Primary highest none () Subexpression (1 + e)
Postfix 2nd highest left to right () Function lcm(3, 4)
! Factorial 4!
Power 3rd highest right to left ^ Exponentiation 2^6
Prefix 4th highest right to left + Unary plus +3
- Negation -7
Square Root √2
Multiplicative 5th highest left to right   Implicit multiplication 2pi
* Explicit multiplication 2 * pi
/ Division pi / 2
% Remainder 12 % 5
Additive lowest left to right + Addition e + 1
- Subtraction e - 1

When a named constant is immediately followed by a numeric constant or named function, implicit multiplication is not recognizable. For example, pi2 and esin4 are in error, whereas 2pi, pi 2, and e sin 4 are valid.

Functions

The following functions are available for use in expressions. Function names are case sensitive.

The operand of a unary function need not be parenthesized. For example, ln 2 and sin sqrt 2 are valid. When used in this manner, the function name behaves as a prefix operator. For example, sin 2π is parsed as (sin 2) × π and ln 2 ^ 4 is parsed as ln(24).
