Dear friend
I made a command-line calculator in Java!
So far it can parse any non-algebraic equation no matter how long.
It knows PEMDAS (the correct order of operations) which means it will also solve anything inside of brackets first.
2 * 2 + 2 = 6 // no matter how you look at it
2 + 2 * 2 = 6 // if you follow the correct order of operations
(2 + 2) * 2 = 8 // if you follow the correct order of operations
And the calculator can understand that 😃
I shall keep you updated on a download link, it will go [HERE] when there is one, so keep checking (if you're interested) 😃
