Download

To download a binary for Windows check the releases page.

Usage

The calculator uses polish inverse notation. For example, you can type:

> 3 2 + .
5

Explanation: This command introduces a 3 onto the stack, then a 2. Then the + operation removes the last two elements from the stack and add them together and push the result (5) back onto the stack. Lastly, the . operator, removes the last element from the stack (5) and prints the result on the screen.

You can scroll though the log using PageUp and PageDown keys or with the mouse wheel. You can use the End key to scroll to the end of the log.

Commands

To execute a command type it and press enter. All commands are case insensitive:

• man: Shows the offline command documentation
• help: Shows this readme file
• exit: Closes the application
• zoom+: Increases the GUI size
• zoom-: Decreases the GUI size
• clear: Clear the previous command log

The possible operands are the following:

Binary operators

All binary operators remove the two values at the top of the stack, perform the operation and put the result back onto the stack.

• + : Adition.
• - : Substraction
• * : Multiplication
• / : Integer division
• % : Integer division remainder
• OR : Logic OR
• AND : Logic AND
• XOR : Logic XOR (Exclusive OR)

Unary operators

Unary operators removes the topmost value from the stack and puts the result back onto the stack.

• NOT : Bitwise negation (Negates each bit of the integer)
• NEG : Integer negation. If the number is positive, this calculate the negative, and if the number is negative this will convert it into a positive number.

Print operators

This operators will print values in the console

• . : Removes the topmost value of the stack and prints it on the screen in decimal
• .h : Removes the topmost value of the stack and prints it on the screen in hexadecimal
• .b : Removes the topmost value of the stack and prints it on the screen in binary
• s. : Prints ALL the stack (from top to bottom) without consuming any value

Building from source

Setup Flat Assambler:

1. Download Flat Assambler for windows and place the folder somewhere near the root of your disk. Eg: C:\fasm\.
2. Add the C:\fasm\ to your PATH
3. Add the environment variable INCLUDE with the value C:\fasm\include to point to the FASM included files.

Cloning the repor and setup Visual Studio code: (optional)

1. Clone the repo and download Visual Studio Code
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to show the building tasks. Select "Build And Run Graphical" or "Build And Run Logic" to build the full REPL calculator or only the console version.

If you don't want to use Visual Studio Code as your IDE, you can build the project manually from the command line:

fasm .\src\main-graphic.asm .\calc.exe
