Practical calculating tool.

Overview

Frink is a practical calculating tool and programming language designed to make physical calculations simple, to help ensure that answers come out right, and to make a tool that's really useful in the real world. It tracks units of measure (feet, meters, kilograms, watts, etc.) through all calculations, allowing you to mix units of measure transparently, and helps you easily verify that your answers make sense. It also contains a large data file of physical quantities, freeing you from having to look them up, and freeing you to make effortless calculations without getting bogged down in the mechanics

What's new in Frink

Version 20190920:

The function bytesToString[bytes, encoding="UTF-8"] can now take an array of Frink integers that will fit into bytes, as well as an array of Java bytes.
The sample RSA.frink has been updated to use the fix for bytesToString above.
Added a function last[expr, num] to take the last num items from an expression (which can be an array or enumerating expression.) The result is returned as an array.
Released a new version of Frink: The Next Generation (version 2019-09-20). This merges all changes from the main branch.
