Programmable Calculator

[Patrick Graf]

I use free version of Alfred and I am wonderung if buying the Powerpack will let me do this amazing thing that I absolutely need:

Alfred search provides a simple calculcator. But what I truly thrive for, is a calculator that can calculate my own functions, or just more sophisticated math, like: sin, cos, Exponential/Logarithmic-Functions, Binomial coefficient, Stirling numbers, factorials, squareroots, and all that just in search.

Is there any way to accomplish this? If not I would have to programm my own programm that has just a different shortcut to open a "search bar". What about just writing the backend and connecting my math-programm via API with Alfred search-bar to just handle input-output?

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at this Alfred help page: Calculator—and in particular the section at the bottom about the advanced calculator?

Yes I have seen the feature with typing "=". But it only unlocks sin,cos, exp functions.
What I am especially interested, are combinatorial functions like binomial coefficient, factorial, stirling numbers, binomial theorem. Unfortunately this GCal feature doesn't provide that.

Welcome @Patrick Graf,

 

Seems like you’re looking for the Script Filter Input. You’ll be able to take whatever is input in Alfred, then do your calculations and return some JSON which will show up in Alfred.
