compass-calc

Simple notepad calculator that allows in-line note-taking with simultaneous calculation.

NOTE: UNFINISHED, THIS VERSION MAY STILL CALCULATE COMPLEX EXPRESSIONS INCORRECTLY

I'm still learning python - I wanted a calculator that I could simultaneously take notes in, and I couldn't find one that really suited my needs, and I figured it would be a good learning project, so I made one.

Currently it can handle most basic arithmetic, but it's still got a lot of room to improve.

Current supported conversions:

• inch -> mm, cm, ft, yards
• mm -> inches, cm, ft
• cm -> inches, mm, ft
• feet -> inches, mm, cm
• meter -> inches, mm, ft, cm

This is still a work in progress.

Future plans/current issues

• Change eval() to an actual parser - DONE, simple math parser added, still being updated
  • Make it able to handle negative numbers more easily in expressions DONE
• Fix that it won't automatically multiply something next to parentheses (i.e. 2(4) will not come out as 2*4=8)
• Expand on conversions
• Add basic trig functions DONE, can handle sin, cos, tan, and so far can handle nested trig functions as well (sin(cos(2)) for example)
