Kalk is a calculator (both program and library) that supports user-defined variables and functions.

## Features
* Operators: +, -, \*, /, !
* Groups: (), ⌈⌉, ⌋⌊
* [Pre-defined functions and constants](https://github.com/PaddiM8/kalk/blob/master/kalk/src/prelude.rs)
* User-defined functions and variables. `f(x, y) = xy`, `x = 5`
* Understands fairly ambiguous syntax. Eg. `2sin50 + 2xy`
* Syntax highlighting
* Special-symbol completion on tab. Eg. write `sqrt` and press tab. It will be turned into `√`.
* Sum function: `sum(start, to, expression)` Eg. `sum(1, 3, 2n+1)` is the same as `2*1+1 + 2*2+1 + 2*3+1` = `15`
* Load a file including predefined functions and constants. For example, if you're going to use Kalk for physics, you load up your file with physics functions/constants when starting Kalk. `-i file`
## Installing
Make sure you have `diffutils` `gcc` `make` and `m4` installed. **If you use windows:** [follow the instructions here](https://docs.rs/gmp-mpfr-sys/1.2.3/gmp_mpfr_sys/index.html#building-on-windows)
If anyone knows how to get `gmp_mpfr_sys` on Windows on Travis, let me know.
