This is a command line program that behaves as a calculator, evaluating simple mathematical expresions on numbers of arbitrary precision while relying solely on C standard libraries.
To build the executable you will need CMake. While in the project root directory run the following command in a terminal to setup the build system.
cmake -S . -B build
Then run the following commands to build the executable and run tests.
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build
