I was trying to figure out some loan payments and such and realized SMath does not have the financial equations that MathCad or Excel have so I made up a few. I've put it on the Wiki page containing examples.

Someday maybe I'll get amitious and make a financial library plug in.

Updated (SMath 0.95 and later) // Code converted to C#

See SMath's Wiki for examples: Financial


Best regards,

So now SMath can go commercial.

The cryptic names of the functions (perhaps as in Mathcad) rises the question: could the function style (european/world) feature be used to provide local function names in general?

Otherwise one could think of a German.dll, providing aliases like

Zeile() -> row()
Spalte() -> col()

That, however, would just be fine for domestic data exchange, because abroad users would just see the german versions.

That's a good work of [userlink]TheWizEd[/userlink]

Cryptic names of standard functions are historically sons of many factors, mainly the reason was to increase the speed of the operators on calculators and paper sheets (and then on computers)...

Also a snippet can help and could be more easy to understand for abroad users

I agree; BTW a 3rd option could be be added to the function style: "from interface language"; in the other hand a deep localization require more efforts opening a file, because SMath must convert more things.

PLUGIN UPDATED

- hidden functions unlocked
- TAB key now produce the right number of arguments


P.S. the extensions manager doesn't notice me the updates...
