Rust

Introduction This project can be found here on my GitHub. At FLVS we have a Coding Club which I am apart of. The club does a lot of things, but every once in a while we do club projects, where we work on something as a group or individually, then present the project. I had a lot of Ideas for this upcoming project, but as I was preparing for my ACT, specifically the Math section, I was quite annoyed that a CAS wasn’t allowed on the test. In comparison, the SAT allows one of the math sections to have a calculator and it can be a CAS calculator. CAS stands for Computer Algebra System, a piece of software that can symbolically work with expressions. I love CAS a lot, not only because it helps me with my work but also I love the idea that I can symbolically work with expressions. Basically telling a computer how to work expressions. I had no idea how to write a CAS (and I still don’t know how to write one well) but I decided that it’d be a fun idea to write one. I was reading the The Rust Programming Language by Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols and was starting to get confident in the language, so I decided to challenge myself by writing a CAS. This CAS is written in sub par Rust code as this is only my first project in the language. This overview will assume you have a basic understanding of Rust. ...
