The goal of this program is to provide an open source calculator with a
simple and easy-to-use interface, similar to a command prompt, but a lot of
options and a multitude of functions.
If you need any help, you can type "help" in the command prompt, look into
the documentation - or contact me here.
There are two major versions of HC -- a CLI (command line interface) and a
GUI (graphical user interface).
There is also a (as of now, very) small FAQ here.

For much more detail, visit the official documentation.
Source code:
- download and install the MAPM library if you don't have it already
(URL : www.tc.umn.edu/~ringx004/mapm-main.html)
- a simple "make" should then be enough
- then run "./hc"
- enter the expression of which you want to know the result, for example
"1 + 2 * 3 / sqrt(mod(4,5))", and then press ENTER
Linux version:
- run the "hc" binary provided in the package (either double click on it in your file
manager, or open a terminal, then "cd" to the appropriate folder, and run "./hc")
- enter the expression of which you want to know the result, for example
