AdeshChoudhar / BC

BC is an arbitrary precision arithmetic calculator written in C, inspired by the GNU bc. Supports basic arithmetic operations along with modulo, exponentiation, and shift operations.

BC

DSA-I mini project

BC is an arbitrary precision calculator written in C, inspired by the GNU bc.
Note: Currently, it is using a workaround for parsing. You can perform only one operation at a time.

Prerequisites

• GCC-11
• CMake (>=3.19)

Usage

For building the project for the first time.

mkdir <directory_name>
cd <directory_name>
cmake ..

Then for further builds, use make in the directory created in the previous step. Refer this demo, if required.

Operations supported

+	Addition	%	Modulo
-	Subtraction	**	Exponentiation
*	Multiplication	<<	Shift Left
/	Division	>>	Shift Right

Data structures

Digit	Number

node_N	stack_N

node_C	stack_C

Pair	token

Future plans/updates

• Convert given infix expression to postfix notation to ease the task of parsing and evaluating.
• Optimising multiplication by implementing it using Karatsuba algorithm.
• Rewrite the whole project in C++, to add some additional features which can take the help of the OOP concepts.
• Use 'binary tree' data structure for expression evaluation.
