RPN Calculator

A calculator for reverse polish notation.

For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation.

Usage

Get the program:

$ go get github.com/sauerbraten/rpncalc

This will put the rpncalc executable into $GOPATH/bin.

Syntax:

rpncalc <input>

<input> consists of float64 literals and operators; divided by spaces. Operators currently supported are:

  • +
  • -
  • ·
  • /
  • %
  • ^

All operators need 2 arguments. If you can't type the ·, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpunct#Keyboard_input. The asterisk (*) doesn't work since it is reserved in bash and expands to all folder contents in the current directory.

Examples:

$ rpncalc 2 3 +
5

2 and 3 are the arguments for the + operator.

$ rpncalc 2 3 + 4 5 + ·
45

$ rpncalc 2 3 + 4 5 + · 20 - 10 / 2 ^ 3 %
1
  • 2 3 +5

  • 4 5 +9

  • 5 9 ·45

  • 45 20 -25

  • 20 10 /2

  • 2 2 ^4

  • 4 3 %1

    $ rpncalc 3 4 + 5 2 ^ · 4 6 · - 8.75 - 142.25
