Hypercalc – interpreted calculator

Hypercalc is an interpreted calculator program designed to calculate extremely large numbers (such as your phone number raised to the power of the factorial of the Gross world product) without overflowing.

It stores and manipulates numbers using a level-index format; as such it can go far beyond the limits of bc, dc, MACSYMA/maxima, Mathematica and Maple, all of which use a bigint library.

This is free and open source software.

Features of the Perl version include:

• User-defined variables.
• User-defined functions.
• Re-use input and output expressions (command history).
• Maximum precision 300 digits.
• Fully programmable
• Uncertainty (example: 100(4)+20(3) = 120(7) ).
• Base-60 input and output (example: 1:20:32 + 5:39 = 1:26:11.
