Toot

Since I'm rather satisfied with this alias for a CLI calculator, I'll repost it:

alias pm='python3 -qic"from math import *; import sys; sys.ps1="] "; sys.ps2="… ""'

pm stands for "Python math"

N.B.: … is a single character (ellipsis)

pm imports math ⇒ you have all functions and constants of https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html available without the math. prefix, including e and pi.

And don't forget the _ variable, that holds the latest result (e.g., the inverse of what you just calculated is simply 1/_)
