This project aims to provide basic calculator functionality for numbers of arbitrary length. This is a personal project meant to challenge myself and just to practice C.
The math executable was compiled with gcc version 13.2.0.
You can build the program by cloning the project into your own machine and running:
make release
The executable can be run as a command line tool as follows:
./math <number> '<operator>' <number>
<number> is a decimal number not containing any spaces.
