#
# Zsh calculator.  Understands most ordinary arithmetic expressions.
# Line editing and history are available. A blank line or `q' quits.
#
# Runs as a script or a function.  If used as a function, the history
# is remembered for reuse in a later call (and also currently in the
# shell's own history).  There are various problems using this as a
# script, so a function is recommended.
#
# The prompt shows a number for the current line.  The corresponding
# result can be referred to with $<line-no>, e.g.
#   1> 32 + 10
#   42
#   2> $1 ** 2
#   1764
# The set of remembered numbers is primed with anything given on the
# command line.  For example,
#   zcalc '2 * 16'
#   1> 32                     # printed by function
#   2> $1 + 2                 # typed by user
#   34
#   3> 
# Here, 32 is stored as $1.  This works in the obvious way for any
# number of arguments.
#
# If the mathfunc library is available, probably understands most system
# mathematical functions.  The left parenthesis must be adjacent to the
# end of the function name, to distinguish from shell parameters
# (translation: to prevent the maintainers from having to write proper
# lookahead parsing).  For example,
#   1> sqrt(2)
#   1.4142135623730951
# is right, but `sqrt (2)' will give you an error.
#
# You can do things with parameters like
#   1> pi = 4.0 * atan(1)
# too.  These go into global parameters, so be careful.  You can declare
# local variables, however:
#   1> local pi
# but note this can't appear on the same line as a calculation.  Don't
# use the variables listed in the `local' and `integer' lines below
# (translation: I can't be bothered to provide a sandbox).
#
# You can declare or delete math functions (implemented via zmathfuncdef):
#   1> function cube $1 * $1 * $1
# This has a single compulsory argument.  Note the function takes care of
# the punctuation.  To delete the function, put nothing (at all) after
# the function name:
#   1> function cube
#
# Some constants are already available: (case sensitive as always):
#   PI     pi, i.e. 3.1415926545897931
#   E      e, i.e. 2.7182818284590455
#
# You can also change the output base.
#   1> [#16]
#   1>
# Changes the default output to hexadecimal with numbers preceded by `16#'.
# Note the line isn't remembered.
#   2> [##16]
#   2>
# Change the default output base to hexadecimal with no prefix.
#   3> [#]
# Reset the default output base.
#
# This is based on the builtin feature that you can change the output base
# of a given expression.  For example,
#   1> [##16]  32 + 20 / 2
#   2A
#   2> 
# prints the result of the calculation in hexadecimal.
#
# You can't change the default input base, but the shell allows any small
# integer as a base:
#   1> 2#1111
#   15
#   2> [##13] 13#6 * 13#9
#   42
# and the standard C-like notation with a leading 0x for hexadecimal is
# also understood.  However, leading 0 for octal is not understood --- it's
# too confusing in a calculator.  Use 8#777 etc.
#
# Options: -#<base> is the same as a line containing just `[#<base>],
# similarly -##<base>; they set the default output base, with and without
# a base discriminator in front, respectively.
#
#
# To do:
# - separate zcalc history from shell history using arrays --- or allow
#   zsh to switch internally to and from array-based history.
