✨ NAME ✨

dcalc — a financial, statistics, scientific & programmers calculator 🧮💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dcalc

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so dcalc is a financial, statistics, scientific AND programmers calculator — like, all four at once, she's versatile 💅 — built for curses on Unix and Linux. no cap.

she runs on Reverse Polish Notation (you know, the HP-style one 👑) or the more common algebraic mode. your call, bestie, she's flexible like that 🦋

and if you're sitting there like "what even IS an RPN calculator, and why is it lowkey more intuitive than those algebraic ones with their whole = sign situation 😭" — first of all, valid question, second of all, go look at http://www.hpcalc.org ✨ they'll explain it way better than I can in a group chat.

have fun with it!! fr fr 🫶
