⚖️Calculator and Converter
Calculate your mathematical expressions and convert units
The calculator is used to perform arithmetic operations, ranging from the simplest operations to the most complex ones, powered by the StringMath library. Its syntax reference can be reviewed in the below link to the official library documentation.

# String Math [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/StringMath/) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/StringMath)  
Calculates the value of a math expression from a string returning a double.
Supports variables, user defined operators and expression compilation.
```csharp
double result = "1 * (2 - 3) ^ 2".Eval(); // 1
```
## Variables
```csharp
double result = "{a} + 2 * {b}".Substitute("a", 2).Substitute("b", 3).Result; // 8
```
### Global variables
These variables are inherited and cannot be substituted.
```csharp
MathExpr.AddVariable("PI", 3.1415926535897931);
double result = "1 + {PI}".Eval(); // 4.1415926535897931
```
## Custom operators
### Global operators
These operators are inherited and can be overidden.
```csharp
MathExpr.AddOperator("abs", a => a > 0 ? a : -a);
double result = "abs -5".Eval(); // 5
// Operator precedence (you can specify an int for precedence)
MathExpr.AddOperator("max", (a, b) => a > b ? a : b, Precedence.Power);
double result = new MathExpr("2 * 3 max 4").Result; // 8
```
### Local operators
These are applied only to the target expression.
```csharp
MathExpr expr = "{PI} + 1";
expr.SetOperator("+", (a, b) => Math.Pow(a, b));
double result = expr; // 3.1415926535897931
double result2 = "{PI} + 1".Eval(); // 4.1415926535897931
```
## Advanced
### Extract variables
```csharp
var expr = "{a} + {b} + {PI}".ToMathExpr();
var variables = expr.Variables; // { "a", "b", "PI" }
var localVariables = expr.LocalVariables; // { "a", "b" }
```
### Compilation
```csharp
Func<double, double> fn = "{a} + 2".ToMathExpr().Compile("a");
double result = fn(5); // 7
```
### Conditional substitution
```csharp
MathExpr expr = "1 / {a}".Substitute("a", 1);
double temp = expr.Result; // 1
if (someCondition) // true
expr.Substitute("a", 2);
double final = expr.Result; // 0.5
```
### Sharing math context
```csharp
MathExpr expr = "{PI} + 1";
expr.SetOperator("+", (a, b) => Math.Pow(a, b));
MathExpr expr2 = "3 + 2".ToMathExpr(expr.Context);
double result = "1 + 2 + 3".Eval(expr.Context);
```
### Custom math context
```csharp
var context = new MathContext(); // new MathContext(MathContext.Default); // to inherit from global
context.RegisterBinary("+", (a, b) => Math.Pow(a, b));
MathExpr expr = new MathExpr("{PI} + 1", context);
MathExpr expr2 = "3 + 2".ToMathExpr(context);
double result = "1 + 2 + 3".Eval(context);
```
## Default operators
### Binary
```csharp
+ (addition)
- (subtraction)
* (multiplication)
/ (division)
% (remainder)
^ (power)
log (logarithm)
max (maximum)
min (minimum)
```
### Unary
```csharp
- (negation)
! (factorial)
sqrt (square root)
sin (sine)
asin (arcsine)
cos (cosine)
acos (arccosine)
tan (tangent)
atan (arctangent)
rad (convert degrees to radians)
deg (convert radians to degrees)
ceil (ceiling)
floor (floor)
round (rounding)
exp (e raised to power)
abs (absolute)
```
The unit converter, however, is used to easily convert the source units to different units, like centimeters to meters. It's powered by the UnitsNet library. You can consult the list of units UnitsNet supports here:
https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/tree/master/UnitsNet/GeneratedCode/Units
To use both the programs, refer to the command usages and individual explanations below.
calc <expression>Calculates the specific arithmetical expression
unitconv <unittype> <quantity> <sourceunit> <targetunit>Converts the unit by quantity and type from the source unit to the target unit
You can use the listunits command to get all the available units by type.
