Introduction

SwissCalc is a powerful interactive calculator for programmer whilst inside Vim. SwissCalc wants to achieve two goals:

  1. convenient
  2. powerful

SwissCalc preserve as mush Vim functionality as possible. You can edit, move, edit, yank expressions for SwissCalc by Vim. It's quite easy to open SwissCalc and edit expressions in Vim. SwissCalc has been tailored to act as a Read Eval Print Loop (REPL) and provides some convenient variables such as last evaluated result, pi, e and functions such as vars(), funcs(), help().

SwissCalc supports three data types: integer, float, string(yes, I am serious). SwissCalc also provides many operations such as bitwise operation, exponention, factorial. SwissCalc is supplied many built-in functions, too. You can all many math functions such as log(), sqrt(), sin(), asin(), many string functions to manipulate string, for example base64 encoding/decoding, md5/sha digest, regular expression, url encoding/decoding, time operattion. If you find that SwissCalc is missing functions that you would like to use, you can define your own functions easily by Python.

Installation

Requirements

  1. Vim 7.0+ with +python.
  2. Python 2.7 installed.

SwissCalc supports Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

Installation

Download the latest source from https://github.com/lightxue/SwissCalc

Extract (or copy) all of the files into your Vim runtime directory, ensuring that they are placed into the correct subdirectories.

Usage

Type :ScalcSplit to open a new window containing the SwissCalc buffer(other open commands: :Scalc, :ScalcVSplit, :ScalcTab). SwissCalc closed when all SwissCalc buffer closed.SwissCalc has been tailored to act as a Read Eval Print Loop (REPL). That is, any command read at the prompt will be evaluated after you press <CR> and the result printed back to you interactively.

Data types

SwissCalc support three data types: integer, float and string. Integer is not arbitrary size, see Environment variable. Floating-point arithmetic is IEEE754, which means float evaluation is not arbitrary precision.

Data type

Operations

Precedence  Operator   Associativity  Description
0           =          right          Assignment
0           += -=      right          Assignment by sum and difference.
0           *= /=      right          Assignment by multiply and division.
0           %= **=     right          Assignment by modulus and exponent.
0           <<= >>=    right          Assignment by Arithmethc left and
                                      right shift.
0           &= |= ^=   right          Assignment by bitwise(and, or, xor).
1           & | ^      left           Bitwise (and, or, xor).
2           << >>      left           Arithmetic left and right shift.
3           + =        left           Addition and subtraction.
4           * / %      left           Multiplication, division and modulus.
5           !          right          Factorial.
6           **         left           Exponentiation.

Operations

Variables

You will find it is convenient to define variables when expression is complicated. SwissCalc will define a variable when you assign it. All variables are in the same global scope. That is all variables bound to a value until SwissCalc exit.

There are some built-in variables in SwissCalc.

Variable    Description
_           Last evaluated result.
e           Euler's number.
pi          Ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in
            Euclidean space.
phi         Golden ratio. Useful when working with Fibonacci sequences.

Variables

Functions

Built-in functions

SwissCalc is supplied with many built-in functions. Here are some of them.

Function      Description

help          Print document of the function

ff            Search functions(built-in and user-defined) by regular
              expression key. Print the Search result.

funcs         Displays a list of all of the functions SwissCalc supported,
              including built-in functions and user-defined functions.

vars          Displays a list of all of the currently bound variables and
              their assigned value.

env           Displays a list of all of the environment variables and their
              value.

setenv        Set environment variable. It toggle value if value is not
              given.

int           Convent other data type to integer. When converting a string,
              use the optional base.

float         Convert other data type to float.

str           Convert other data type to string.

Functions Functions Functions

User-defined functions

Define functions for SwissCalc is quite easy. Add all the functions you want to autoload/custom.py. They will be loaded when the SwissCalc buffer created.

There are something you should know before defining your own functions:

  1. Functions should be writed by Python.
  2. All parameters and return values should be integer, float or string.
  3. Strong recommend writing function's docstring, so you can get help by help().
  4. Everything send to stdout will redirect to the SwissCalc buffer, but stderr will not.
  5. User-defined functions will overwrite built-in functions if they have the same name.
  6. Raising exceptions is valid because SwissCalc will catch all user-define exceptins.

If you do add functions that you think others would benefit from, please send me patches.

Functions

Environment variables

You can adjust SwissCalc by environment variables. Environment variables are bound to different scope with user-defined variables, so don't worry your variables will overwrite environment variables when they have the same name.

Variables    Defualt   Description
bin          0         Whether display binary mode when print integer.
oct          0         Whether display octal mode when print integer.
dec          1         Whether display decimal mode when print integer.
hex          0         Whether display hexadecimal mode when print integer.
word         8         Number of bytes that handling integer.
signed       1         Whether integer is signed.

Functions

Commands

  1. :Scalc ==> open SwissCalc in a current window
  2. :ScalcSplit ==> open SwissCalc in a horizontal window
  3. :ScalcVSplit ==> open SwissCalc in a vertical window
  4. :ScalcTab ==> open SwissCalc in a new tab
