I decided to use emacs calc for my School assignments instead of a TI calculator.

    I have never tried calc. It might be interesting to experiment with it sometime, though. Thanks for the tip.

    I absolutely love the default GNU calc. It’s just a REPL with C-like syntax, which makes it amazing for all kinds of calculations. You can even do loops and stuff, if you so desire

        Not sure about Emacs calc, but in Gnu calc you can just do more or less classic c-like loops.

        I.e. for ( i = 0; i < 10; ++i ) { ... } or while ( x != 10 ) { ... }
