CCCalc: Another CLI Calculator

CCCalc is a command-line interface (CLI) calculator designed to efficiently parse and evaluate simple arithmetic expressions. This project is part of a coding challenge from Coding Challenges.

Project Overview

CCCalc is built to handle a wide variety of arithmetic expressions involving basic mathematical operations. It's designed to be both a practical tool for quick calculations and a fun project to explore parsing algorithms and command-line utility development.

Prerequisites

Before installing and running CCCalc, ensure you have the following installed:

• Go (at least version 1.13): CCCalc is written in Go. You will need to have Go installed on your machine to compile and run the calculator. Download and install it from Go's official website.

Features

• Evaluate arithmetic expressions including operations for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Handle complex nested expressions with proper order of operations.
• Error handling for common mistakes in arithmetic expressions, such as division by zero.

Installation

Follow these steps to install CCCalc:

git clone https://github.com/nullsploit01/cc-calculator.git
cd cc-calculator
go build -o cccalc

Usage

To use cccalc, you can run the compiled binary directly from the command line:

./cccalc "expression"

Examples

./cccalc "3 + 4 * 2 / ( 1 - 5 )"
./cccalc "5 + 2 * (3 - 1)"
./cccalc "10 / 2 + 3 * (2 + 1)"
