โจ SYNOPSIS โจ
mate-calc [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]
๐ฆ DESCRIPTION ๐ฆ
so mate-calc is the official calculator for the MATE Desktop Environment, like it's literally the one the whole desktop ships with ๐
It was designed to be used with either your mouse or your keyboard, whichever vibe you're on, and honestly? It looks a lot like those little hand-held calculators you've definitely seen. Very nostalgic, very iconic.
This manual page briefly documents the mate-calc command โ just the essentials, so you know what you're working with ๐ซถ
๐ OPTIONS ๐
-s,--solve <equation>โ solves whatever equation you drop right after this option. give it a math problem and it'll handle it โจ--versionโ spits out version info and dips out (exits) immediately ๐จ-h,-?,--helpโ prints the standard command line options, the classic move--help-allโ prints all the command line options, the deluxe edition ๐
also, bestie, this program accepts the standard GTK options too. it's giving GTK energy fr fr ๐
๐ซ EXAMPLES ๐ซ
okay here's where it gets fun, watch:
mate-calc -s 4*10.5
multiply 4 by 10.5 โ๏ธ
mate-calc -s 21+21
add 21 plus 21 โ
mate-calc --solve '((5.25ร4)ร2)'
multiply 5.25 by 4, and then their product by 2 ๐งฎ
