This is a simple math parser. It always returns in Float.
0.1 - Supports addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, exponents and brackets in their correct order.
0.2 - Supports percentage calculations.
Install:
gem install little_math_pet
Require:
require "little_math_pet"
Usage:
LittleMathPet.new("5*12+8").calc # => 68.0 LittleMathPet.new("5*(12+8)").calc # => 100.0 LittleMathPet.new("60-20%").calc # => 48.0
It also can handle variables
LittleMathPet.new("5*a+8").calc(:a => 4) # => 28.0 LittleMathPet.new("a*b+c^d").calc(:a => 4, :b => 3, :c => 2, :d => 5) # => 44.0
Mostly ruby (+ - * / ** and ()) but can also accept : for division, ^ for exponents, [] and {} for bracketing. It will also not mind about spaces.
