tcalc, simple pocket calculator in Bash
tcalc [1] (via [2]) is a simple pocket/desktop calculator written in Bash. It has the basic mathematical operations +-*/, decimal point, that's about it.
Not sure the second line, with right arrow symbol, is for. Perhaps, some unfinished feature?
Note that it uses Unicode characters, such as a dot for decimal point and the border lines, so you may need proper fonts for your terminal emulator.
There is another calculator in terminal under the same name [3], which was written in C. Personally, I like the layout and visual look of this Bash version. It looks quite clean and, most importantly, simple.
Both have no mouse support, which is really one feature I always look for in a calculator in terminal. Because of it, I even created my own calculator, c (urcalc) [4].
