kalc

requires gnuplot for graphing, a modern terminal like windows terminal on windows

history file is stored in ~/.config/kalc.history or C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\kalc.history

config file is stored in ~/.config/kalc.config or C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\kalc.config

you can set permanent variables and functions in the file ~/.config/kalc.vars or C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\kalc.vars

parsing tries to comply with wolfram alpha

wont fix issues

• sin^-4!(2) fails to parse
• sin^(-4+2)(2) will not parse as sin(2)^(-4+2)
