Advanced Command-Line Calculator

This is a professional, command-line-based symbolic calculator built with Node.js and TypeScript. It can perform calculus and algebraic operations, and is designed to be published as an NPM package.

Core Features

• Calculus:
  • Compute derivatives of functions (e.g., find the derivative of x^2 + 2x).
  • Compute indefinite integrals of functions (e.g., find the integral of 2x).
• Algebra:
  • Solve single-variable algebraic equations (e.g., solve 2x - 10 = 0 for x).
• User Interface:
  • An interactive command-line interface (CLI) that prompts the user for mathematical expressions and the desired operation.

Installation

To use the calculator, you can run it directly with npx, or you can install it globally using npm:

npm install -g cp-advanced-calculator@latest

Usage

Running with NPX

The easiest way to use the calculator is with npx:

npx cp-advanced-calculator@latest

Running after Global Installation

If you installed the package globally, you can run it with this command:

cp-advanced-calculator

Once started, the calculator will prompt you to enter two numbers and select an operation to perform.

Examples

• Differentiate:
  • x^2 + 2x -> 2*x + 2
• Integrate:
  • 2x -> x^2
• Solve:
  • 2x - 10 = 0 -> [5]
