My Calculator is Now NodeJs instead of Google or Excel

Wow funny thing I noticed today that I have been using NodeJS, in terminal for doing my calculations and arithmetic operations. Then I realized how I have always been using different methods and tools on my laptop to perform quick arithmetic calculations.

NodeJs is My Handy Calculator

At start it was usual system calculator. Then I started to use Spreadsheet most of the time for performing calculations when I learned basic maths operations and functions available in spreadsheets. After sometime Google, became my favorite calculator for fast arithmetic operations.

Just recently on my Ubuntu system I caught NodeJs fever and have been playing with any NMP package I could find and play with on Javascript. And wow the new use case which I found today was that, I have been using Node in my terminal for performing quick calculations. I am posting it to share with the world so if you find doing your calculations using something other than conventional or system calculator, don’t panic, it is normal 😀
