NAME
rpncalc - a reverse polish notation (RPN) calculator.SYNOPSIS
rpncalc [-h]|[-v]|["expression"]DESCRIPTION
rpncalc partially emulates a HP 28S and is intended for every-day purposes (i.e. 1 1 +), not for complex calculations (use gnuplot(1) or octave(1) for these). rpncalc evaluates expression if given or reads from standard input otherwise. These features are not implemented:• complex numbers,
• vector, matrices, lists and arrays,
• algebraic input, symbolic evaluation,
• units, and
• variables.
rpncalc recognizes the following functions, operations, and constants:
%CMDS% |
Delimiters are ,, ;, space, tab and newline.
A few things have been added with respect to a HP28: the prefixes 0x resp. 0 stand for hexadecimal resp. octal constants, as in C. The Bessel Functions and the error functions are new, in order to make better use of the math library.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
- stands for help
- -v, --version
- prints out the current version of rpncalc and exits.
SEE ALSO
dc(1), bc(1), gnuplot(1), octave(1), units(1).BUGS
The floating point exception handling relies on the math library and is site- and architecture dependent.Accuracy and range of the calculations is at the mercy of the math library (and generally much worse than the original).
