Here is a nice little calculator for doing basic operations.
(It is much more useful than the calculator that comes with windows)
I hope it comes in handy, and please report any bugs here!

Interesting tool. But I have one note and one complaint. Smile

1 note: Interesting code formatting style!
1 complaint: I can't clear the result windows. Even after select all/delete, on the next calculation, all previous result appears back.
IMHO it contradicts to PLA.

@JohnFound,
complaint noted - the option to delete some of the results does seem like a good one.
I'll post an update when I get the graphing implemented. Smile

Would it be better to have multiplication also implied by a white space?
e.g. x + y z <=> x + y * z

If it doesn't have a downside, why not?

Quote:

OutputBase=16;888
Out[2]: 10
Out[3]: 378
OutputBase=16;888
Out[0]: 16
Out[1]: 378

I wouldn't say that it's necessary to output a variable's new value as well.
also out[0] says 16 instead of 10

As JohnFound already mentioned something like a clear button or a checkbox whether to keep the results would be nice

Apart from that your calculator seems very clean and useful, that updated screenshot looks very interesting as well :)

Thats very impressive..
Would be awesome to see the source for it - if you dont mind.. if you cant/dont want to release it, then thats fine - was quite interested in how you do that 3D plotting though. Sort of looks raytraced?

Thanks! I worked hard on it...
Um, the 3D drawing is accomplished with opengl and a manual cpu-based shader. It might look raytraced, but in fact the surfaces are just a bunch of poly's. After the next version (which has an implicit surface plotter) I'll include the source again. Quick question for anyone who can answer:

in the function
LPVOID WINAPI VirtualAlloc(
__in_opt LPVOID lpAddress,
__in SIZE_T dwSize,
__in DWORD flAllocationType,
__in DWORD flProtect
);

how can I be sure that all of the memory locations from RETURN_VALUE to RETURN_VALUE+SIZE_T will not incure an access protection fault upon touching? For example, if I call it with SIZE_T set to 4GB, can I assume that all addresses beyond RETURN_VALUE will be accessable?

Use MEM_COMMIT for the flAllocationType. If the memory can't be allocated it will return an error. If it can be allocated then all the memory requested is yours to use in any order you need. But note that only addresses within RETURN_VALUE+SIZE_T-1 are guaranteed available. RETURN_VALUE+SIZE_T might go beyond the allocation depending upon the actual allocated amount and the CPU page size.

@tthsqe: I think the Win32 process is able to allocate up to 2Gb and that is un-fragmented room, so 4Gb will most likely give NULL back.

will that cause problems in future? there are many spaces in stream

do you restrict instructions to some set?
e.g. our cpu is capable up sse3 and the program run(i was happy)

could you explain the logics of muMath.asm, ln.1467, please

Code:

...
                        pop eax
;
                        mov  dl,9
                        sub  dl,al
                        sar  dl,7
                        add  al,'0'
                        and  dl,39
                        add  al,dl
;
                        stosb
...

@AsmGuru62, thanks for the info. I though I was running into memory problems at that time, but I have since reduced the memory usage of the contour plot function from O(n^3) to O(n^2). Smile

@idle, that function looks like one for printing integers.

Code:

PrintInteger:          push  ebp
                        mov  ebp,esp
                       test  eax,eax
                        jns  .l1
                        mov  byte[edi],'-'
                        inc  edi
                        neg  eax
                .l1:    xor  edx,edx
                        div  dword[OutputBase]
                       push  edx
                       test  eax,eax
                        jnz  .l1
                .l2:    pop  eax
                        mov  dl,9
                        sub  dl,al
                        sar  dl,7
                        add  al,'0'
                        and  dl,39
                        add  al,dl
                      stosb
                        cmp  esp,ebp
                         jb  .l2
                        pop  ebp
                        ret

First, the digits are pushed onto the stack, then they are popped off and printed. The part you quoted makes sure that the digits beyond '9' get mapped to 'a'-'f'. i.e.

Code:

if al>9
   return 'a'+al
else
   return '0'+al
endif

In the next version, I hope to add a nice 2D plotter, support for arrays, and an optimized compiler (constant propagation, common sub-expression elimination, ...blah blah blah). Smile

Hello!
If i write
f[n]=If[n<=1,n,f[n-1]+f[n-2]];
f[40]
and evaluate, it takes a lot of time to get the result.
How can i reduce time of evaluation?

That is just to demonstate the recursive features and has exponential running time.

Try

Code:

f[n:x,y,z]=(x=1;y=0;While[n>0,z=y;y=y+x;x=z;n=n-1];y);
f[40]

I decided to put local variables in functions after a ":"

hi tthsqe,
as for all your other stuff, this is cool too Very Happy

!
i would like to have a native 3D-plotting plugin from it. to say, API like
"ParametricPlot3D", but more primitive/abstracted.
do you plan separating/abstracting such a graph-engine ?

Thanks,
Cheers,

tthsqe, would you consider adding support for memoization? (automatic, but by letting the programmer asking for it explicitly)

Sorry for the stupid question, but does muMath support arrays already (which could be used for hand-made memoization among other things)?.

Whoa - I do not know of an algorithm to determin if a function can be memoized.
As for the other stuff:
- a SSA based optimizer is in the making
- arrays are definitely possible but not currently implemented. I'm not quite sure how to handle the allocation/deallocation of space for intermediate results
