CLIMath - No Non-sense Arithmetic Operations on the CLI

Do you have problems working with complex arithmetic operations on the CLI?

Are you still using a hacked together bash layer on top of bc?

Do you have problems handling different non-standardised numbers such as 123.678,123 and 1,578,632.23 in the same operation?

CLIMath to the rescue!

Example Usage

alias math="amm --silent CLIMath.sc"

$ math 10 + 4 + 2
> 16

$ math "10 * (2 + 1.24)"
> 30.24

$ math 100 000. 01 + 345,545.12 + 456.678.213,39
> 457123758.52

Installation

CLIMath is an Ammonite script, so it requires an Ammonite installation to work. Follow the details here: https://ammonite.io/#ScalaScripts.

As CLIMath is a single script. Installation is as easy as downloading it from GitHub and placing it somewhere visible in your path.
