Ignore currency and thousand separators

Ignore currency and thousand separators

danvk opened this issue 4 years ago · 1 comments

Not sure if this is compatible with the goals of this project, but I've always wanted a command line calculator that ignored currency symbols (e.g. $) and thousand separators (, in the US, . in many other countries).

So for example:

>>> $1,000.00 / 4
$250

Agreed, it would be nice but it's not really possible as the language is already using $ for local variables, so that $1 can point to a valid variable...
