RINPn
The RINPn (RINEARN Processor nano) is a free scientific calculator software, having having very simple UI. The RINPn is available on both of the GUI (calculator window) and the CUI (command-line terminal).
In addition, the RINPn is customizable and programmable. For example, you can define new functions and variables by writing scripts, and can extend built-in functions by developing plug-ins in Java®, and so on.
Available on Various OSes for PC
The RINPn is the calculator software developed in Java®, so you can use it on Microsoft® Windows®, Linux, and other OSes for PC. Furthermore, you can put the RINPn in your USB memory, and use it on multiple PCs without installation.
For Microsoft Windows
To execute the RINPn, double-click "RINPn.bat (Type: Windows Batch File)" in the downaloded/extracted folder. When you first execute the RINPn, you can optionally get the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) which is required to run (it will put in the "jre" folder of the RINPn, and will not be installed in the system of your PC).
For Linux, etc.
To execute the RINPn, set the current directory (by "cd" command) to the downloaded/extracted folder, and input the following command:
If any error occurs and it indicates "java" command is not available, installing Java Runtime Environment (JRE) into your PC is required for executing this software. You might install a JRE of the OpenJDK project easily by "apt" command and so on, but please note that "headless" version is not available for the RINPn.
For both of Windows and Linux, you can use the RINPn on the command-line terminal, by adding the path of "cmd" folder of the RINPn to the environment variable: "Path" or "PATH". » Details
Simple Window
The RINPn's window has very common UI in scientific calculators, so it is very easy to start using the RINPn.
Also, you can retract the key panel, if you don't need it.
The window color, opacity, font sizes, and so on are customizable.
Input the Whole of Expression
You can input and calculate the whole of the expression. In addition, you can use various mathematical and statistical functions in the expression.
Define Functions and Variables
The RINPn supports C-like simple scripting language* for defining functions and variables by users. You can define them in library script files in "lib" folder, and use them in the calculation expression on the RINPn.
* The language supported by the RINPn is the "Vnano", which is a simple scripting language/engine for embedded use in applications, developed by RINEARN. For features and syntax of the Vnano, see: Features of the Vnano as a Language - Vnano Tutorial
Execute Script Files
In addition to defining functions/variable as the above, you can write complicated calculation code in a script file, and compute it by the RINPn.
For example, following scripts are distributed on the code archive in the official website of the VCSSL/Vnano, and you can use them on the RINPn.
