I finally added a feature I wanted for a long time: using math expressions in number inputs. Sometimes I want to input a big number, or a number with many digits that can be easily computed, but I always to enter it digit by digit. Well, not anymore! All number inputs now support math expressions. E.g.
3+5
,32 / 5
,2^10
,e ^ (pi i)
Under the hood, math expressions are evaluated by mathjs, so this isn't a simple
eval(string)
. It's safe.
