Plot y = f(x) in your terminal, redrawn live as you type.
More example plots
go run .Or build a binary with go build -o algebra-visual . and run ./algebra-visual.
Type a function of x and the curve redraws on every keystroke.
sin(x) * x
x^2 - 4
2^x
The expression syntax covers + - * / % ^, parentheses, unary minus, and the
variable x. Available functions include sqrt cbrt abs floor ceil round sin cos
tan asin acos atan exp ln log log2. You can also use the constants pi, e, tau.
The domain is fixed to [-10, 10] and the vertical range fits the visible curve.
