+%
+% \section{Introduction}
+%
+% Arithmetic in \TeX\ is done using low-level operations such as
+% |\advance| and |\multiply|. This may be acceptable when developing
+% a macro package, but it is not an acceptable interface for the
+% end-user.
+%
+% This package introduces proper infix notation arithmetic which is
+% much more familiar to most people. The infix notation is more
+% readable and easier to modify than the alternative: a sequence of
+% assignment and arithmetic instructions. One of the arithmetic
+% instructions (|\divide|) does not even have an equivalent in
+% standard \LaTeX.
+%
+% The infix expressions can be used in arguments to macros (the
+% \texttt{calc} package doesn't employ category code changes to
+% achieve its goals).\footnote{However, it therefore assumes that the
+% category codes of the special characters, such as \texttt{(*/)}
+% in its syntax do not change.}
+%
+% \section{Informal description}
+%
+% Standard \LaTeX\ provides the following set of commands to
+% manipulate counters and lengths \cite[pages 194 and~216]{latexman}.
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item[]\hskip-\leftmargin
+% |\setcounter{|\textit{ctr}|}{|\textit{num}|}| sets the
+% value of the counter \textit{ctr} equal to (the value of)
+% \textit{num}. (Fragile)
+% \item[]\hskip-\leftmargin
+% |\addtocounter{|\textit{ctr}|}{|\textit{num}|}|
+% increments the value of the counter \textit{ctr} by (the
+% value of) \textit{num}. (Fragile)
+%
+% \item[]\hskip-\leftmargin
+% |\setlength{|\textit{cmd}|}{|\textit{len}|}| sets the value of
+% the length command \textit{cmd} equal to (the value of) \textit{len}.
+% (Robust)
+% \item[]\hskip-\leftmargin
+% |\addtolength{|\textit{cmd}|}{|\textit{len}|}| sets the value of
+% the length command \textit{cmd} equal to its current value plus
+% (the value of) \textit{len}. (Robust)
+% \end{itemize}
+% (The |\setcounter| and |\addtocounter| commands have global effect,
+% while the |\setlength| and |\addtolength| commands obey the normal
+% scoping rules.) In standard \LaTeX, the arguments to these commands
+% must be simple values. The \texttt{calc} package extends these
+% commands to accept infix notation expressions, denoting values of
+% appropriate types. Using the \texttt{calc} package, \textit{num} is
+% replaced by \<integer expression>, and \textit{len} is replaced by
+% \<glue expression>. The formal syntax of \<integer expression> and
+% \<glue expression> is given below.
+%
+% In addition to these commands to explicitly set a length, many \LaTeX\
+% commands take a length argument. After loading this package, most of
+% these commands will accept a \<glue expression>. This includes
+% the optional width argument of |\makebox|, the width argument of
+% |\parbox|, |minipage|, and a |tabular| |p|-column, and many similar
+% constructions. (This package does not redefine any of these commands,
+% but they are defined by default to read their arguments by |\setlength|
+% and so automatically benefit from the enhanced |\setlength| command
+% provided by this package.)
+%
+% In the following, we shall use standard \TeX\ terminology. The
+% correspondence between \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ terminology is as follows:
+% \LaTeX\ counters correspond to \TeX's count registers; they hold
+% quantities of type \<number>. \LaTeX\ length commands correspond to
+% \TeX's dimen (for rigid lengths) and skip (for rubber lengths)
+% registers; they hold quantities of types \<dimen> and \<glue>,
+% respectively.
+%
+% \TeX\ gives us primitive operations to perform arithmetic on registers as
+% follows:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item addition and subtraction on all types of quantities without
+% restrictions;
+% \item multiplication and division by an \emph{integer} can be
+% performed on a register of any type;
+% \item multiplication by a \emph{real} number (i.e., a number with a
+% fractional part) can be performed on a register of any type,
+% but the stretch and shrink components of a glue quantity are
+% discarded.
+% \end{itemize}
+% The \texttt{calc} package uses these \TeX\ primitives but provides a
+% more user-friendly notation for expressing the arithmetic.
+%
+% An expression is formed of numerical quantities (such as explicit
+% constants and \LaTeX\ counters and length commands) and binary
+% operators (the tokens `\texttt{+}', `\texttt{-}', `\texttt{*}', and
+% `\texttt{/}' with their usual meaning) using the familiar infix
+% notation; parentheses may be used to override the usual precedences
+% (that multiplication/division have higher precedence than
+% addition/subtraction).
+%
+% Expressions must be properly typed. This means, e.g., that a dimen
+% expression must be a sum of dimen terms: i.e., you cannot say
+% `\texttt{2cm+4}' but `\texttt{2cm+4pt}' is valid.
+%
+% In a dimen term, the dimension part must come first; the same holds
+% for glue terms. Also, multiplication and division by non-integer
+% quantities require a special syntax; see below.
+%
+% Evaluation of subexpressions at the same level of precedence
+% proceeds from left to right. Consider a dimen term such as
+% ``\texttt{4cm*3*4}''. First, the value of the factor \texttt{4cm} is
+% assigned to a dimen register, then this register is multiplied
+% by~$3$ (using |\multiply|), and, finally, the register is multiplied
+% by~$4$ (again using |\multiply|). This also explains why the
+% dimension part (i.e., the part with the unit designation) must come
+% first; \TeX\ simply doesn't allow untyped constants to be assigned
+% to a dimen register.
+%
+% The \texttt{calc} package also allows multiplication and division by
+% real numbers. However, a special syntax is required: you must use
+% |\real{|\<decimal constant>|}|\footnote{Actually, instead of
+% \<decimal constant>, the more general \<optional signs>\<factor> can
+% be used. However, that doesn't add any extra expressive power to
+% the language of infix expressions.} or
+% |\ratio{|\<dimen expression>|}{|\<dimen expression>|}| to denote a
+% real value to be used for multiplication/division. The first form has
+% the obvious meaning, and the second form denotes the number obtained
+% by dividing the value of the first expression by the value of the
+% second expression.
+%
+% A later addition to the package (in June 1998) allows an additional
+% method of specifying a factor of type dimen by setting some text
+% (in LR-mode) and measuring its dimensions: these are denoted as
+% follows.
+%\begin{quote}
+% |\widthof{|\<text>|}|\quad
+% |\heightof{|\<text>|}|\quad
+% |\depthof{|\<text>|}|
+%\end{quote}
+% These calculate the natural sizes of the \<text> in exactly the
+% same way as is done for the commands |\settowidth| etc.~on
+% Page~216 of the manual~\cite{latexman}.
+% In August 2005 the package was further extended to provide the command
+%\begin{quote}
+% |\totalheightof{|\<text>|}|
+%\end{quote}
+% This command does exactly what you'd expect from its name.
+% Additionally the package also provides the command
+%\begin{quote}
+% |\settototalheight{|\<cmd>|}{|\<text>|}|
+%\end{quote}
+%
+%
+% Note that there is a small difference in the usage of these two
+% methods of accessing text dimensions. After
+% |\settowidth{\txtwd}{Some text}| you can use:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setlength{\parskip}{0.68\txtwd}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% whereas using the more direct access to the width of the text
+% requires the longer form for multiplication, thus:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setlength{\parskip}{\widthof{Some text} * \real{0.68}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+% \TeX\ discards the stretch and shrink components of glue when glue
+% is multiplied by a real number. So, for example,
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setlength{\parskip}{3pt plus 3pt * \real{1.5}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% will set the paragraph separation to 4.5pt with no stretch or
+% shrink. Incidentally, note how spaces can be used to enhance
+% readability. When \TeX\ is scanning for a \<number> etc.\ it is
+% common to terminate the scanning with a space token or by inserting
+% \cs{relax}. As of version~4.3 \textsf{calc} allows \cs{relax} tokens
+% to appear in places where they would usually be used for terminating
+% \TeX's scanning. In short this is just before any of \texttt{+-*/)}
+% or at the end of the expression being evaluated.
+%
+% When \TeX\ performs arithmetic on integers, any fractional part of
+% the results are discarded. For example,
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setcounter{x}{7/2}
+% \setcounter{y}{3*\real{1.6}}
+% \setcounter{z}{3*\real{1.7}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% will assign the value~$3$ to the counter~\texttt{x}, the value~$4$
+% to~\texttt{y}, and the value~$5$ to~\texttt{z}. This truncation
+% also applies to \emph{intermediate} results in the sequential
+% computation of a composite expression; thus, the following command
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setcounter{x}{3 * \real{1.6} * \real{1.7}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% will assign~$6$ to~\texttt{x}.
+%
+% As an example of the use of |\ratio|, consider the problem of
+% scaling a figure to occupy the full width (i.e., |\textwidth|) of
+% the body of a page. Assume that the original dimensions of the
+% figure are given by the dimen (length) variables, |\Xsize| and
+% |\Ysize|. The height of the scaled figure can then be expressed by
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setlength{\newYsize}{\Ysize*\ratio{\textwidth}{\Xsize}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+%
+%
+% Another new feature introduced in August 2005 was $\max$ and $\min$
+% operations with associated macros
+%\begin{quote}
+% |\maxof{|\<\textit{type} expression>|}{|\<\textit{type} expression>|}|
+% \\
+% |\minof{|\<\textit{type} expression>|}{|\<\textit{type} expression>|}|
+%\end{quote}
+% When \textit{type} is either \meta{glue} or \meta{dimen} these macros
+% are allowed only as part of addition or subtraction but when
+% \textit{type} is \meta{integer} they can also be used when
+% multiplying and dividing. In the latter case they follow the
+% same syntax rules as |\ratio| and |\real| which means they must come
+% after the |*| or the |/|. Thus
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setcounter{x}{3*\maxof{4+5}{3*4}+\minof{2*\real{1.6}}{5-1}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% will assign $3\times\max(9,12)+\min(3,4)=39$ to |x|. Similarly
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \setlength{\parindent}{%
+% \minof{3pt}{\parskip}*\real{1.5}*\maxof{2*\real{1.6}}{2-1}}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% will assign $\min(13.5\textrm{pt},4.5\cs{parskip})$ to \cs{parindent}
+%
+%
+%
+% \section{Formal syntax}
+%
+% The syntax is described by the following set of rules.
+% Note that the definitions of \<number>, \<dimen>, \<glue>,
+% \<decimal constant>, and \<plus or minus> are
+% as in Chapter~24 of The \TeX book~\cite{texbook}; and \<text>
+% is LR-mode material, as in the manual~\cite{latexman}.
+% We use \textit{type} as a meta-variable, standing for
+% `integer', `dimen', and `glue'.\footnote{This version of the
+% \texttt{calc} package doesn't support evaluation of muglue expressions.}

+%
+%
+% Relying heavily on \TeX\ to do the underlying assignments, it is
+% only natural for \texttt{calc} to simulate \TeX's parsing machinery
+% for these quantities. Therefore it a)~imposes the same restrictions
+% on the catcode of syntax characters as \TeX\ and b)~tries to expand
+% its argument fully. a)~means that implicit characters for the tokens
+% |*|$_{12}$, |/|$_{12}$, |(|$_{12}$, and |)|$_{12}$ will not
+% work\footnote{e\TeX\ also assumes these catcodes when parsing a
+% \cs{numexpr}, \cs{dimexpr}, \cs{glueexpr}, or \cs{muglueexpr} and
+% does not allow implicit characters.} but because of~b), the
+% expansion should allow you to use macros that expand to explicit
+% syntax characters.

+% \section{The evaluation scheme}
+% \label{evaluation:scheme}
+%
+% In this section, we shall for simplicity consider only expressions
+% containing `$+$' (addition) and `$*$' (multiplication) operators.
+% It is trivial to add subtraction and division.
+%
+% An expression $E$ is a sum of terms: $T_1+\cdots+T_n$; a term is a
+% product of factors: $F_1*\cdots*F_m$; a factor is either a simple
+% numeric quantity~$f$ (like \<number> as described in the \TeX book),
+% or a parenthesized expression~$(E')$.
+%
+% Since the \TeX\ engine can only execute arithmetic operations in a
+% machine-code like manner, we have to find a way to translate the
+% infix notation into this `instruction set'.
+%
+% Our goal is to design a translation scheme that translates~$X$ (an
+% expression, a term, or a factor) into a sequence of \TeX\ instructions
+% that does the following [Invariance Property]: correctly
+% evaluates~$X$, leaves the result in a global register~$A$ (using a
+% global assignment), and does not perform global assignments to the
+% scratch register~$B$; moreover, the code sequence must be balanced
+% with respect to \TeX\ groups. We shall denote the code sequence
+% corresponding to~$X$ by \s{X}.
+%
+% In the replacement code specified below, we use the following
+% conventions:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item $A$ and $B$ denote registers; all assignments to~$A$ will
+% be global, and all assignments to~$B$ will be local.
+% \item ``$\gassign$'' means global assignment to the register on
+% the lhs.
+% \item ``$\lassign $'' means local assignment to the register on
+% the lhs.
+% \item ``\savecode C'' means ``save the code~$C$ until the current
+% group (scope) ends, then execute it.'' This corresponds to
+% the \TeX-primitive |\aftergroup|.
+% \item ``$\{$'' denotes the start of a new group, and ``$\}$''
+% denotes the end of a group.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% Let us consider an expression $T_1+T_2+\cdots+T_n$. Assuming that
+% \s{T_k} ($1\le k\le n$) attains the stated goal, the following code
+% clearly attains the stated goal for their sum:
+% \begin{eqnarray*}
+% \s{T_1+T_2+\cdots+T_n}&\Longrightarrow&
+% \{\,\s{T_1}\,\} \; B\lassign A \quad
+% \{\,\s{T_2}\,\} \; B\lassign B+A \\
+% &&\qquad \ldots \quad \{\,\s{T_n}\,\} \; B\lassign B+A
+% \quad A\gassign B
+% \end{eqnarray*}
+% Note the extra level of grouping enclosing each of \s{T_1}, \s{T_2},
+% \ldots,~\s{T_n}. This will ensure that register~$B$, used to
+% compute the sum of the terms, is not clobbered by the intermediate
+% computations of the individual terms. Actually, the group
+% enclosing~\s{T_1} is unnecessary, but it turns out to be simpler if
+% all terms are treated the same way.
+%
+% The code sequence ``$\{\,\s{T_2}\,\}\;B\lassign B+A$'' can be translated
+% into the following equivalent code sequence:
+% ``$\{\savecode{B\lassign B+A}\,\s{T_2}\,\}$''. This observation turns
+% out to be the key to the implementation: The ``$\savecode{B\lassign
+% B+A}$'' is generated \emph{before} $T_2$ is translated, at the same
+% time as the `$+$' operator between $T_1$ and~$T_2$ is seen.
+%
+% Now, the specification of the translation scheme is straightforward:
+% \begin{eqnarray*}
+% \s{f}&\Longrightarrow&A\gassign f\\[\smallskipamount]
+% \s{(E')}&\Longrightarrow&\s{E'}\\[\smallskipamount]
+% \s{T_1+T_2+\cdots+T_n}&\Longrightarrow&
+% \{\savecode{B\lassign A}\,\s{T_1}\,\} \quad
+% \{\savecode{B\lassign B+A}\,\s{T_2}\,\} \\
+% &&\qquad \ldots \quad \{\savecode{B\lassign B+A}\,\s{T_n}\,\}
+% \quad A\gassign B
+% \\[\smallskipamount]
+% \s{F_1*F_2*\cdots*F_m}&\Longrightarrow&
+% \{\savecode{B\lassign A}\,\s{F_1}\,\} \quad
+% \{\savecode{B\lassign B*A}\,\s{F_2}\,\}\\
+% &&\qquad \ldots \quad \{\savecode{B\lassign B*A}\,\s{F_m}\,\}
+% \quad A\gassign B
+% \end{eqnarray*}
+% By structural induction, it is easily seen that the stated property
+% is attained.
+%
+% By inspection of this translation scheme, we see that we have to
+% generate the following code:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item we must generate ``$\{\savecode{B\lassign
+% A}\{\savecode{B\lassign A}$'' at the left border of an
+% expression (i.e., for each left parenthesis and the implicit
+% left parenthesis at the beginning of the whole expression);
+% \item we must generate ``$\}A\gassign B\}A\gassign B$'' at the
+% right border of an expression (i.e., each right parenthesis
+% and the implicit right parenthesis at the end of the full
+% expression);
+% \item `\texttt{*}' is replaced by ``$\}\{\savecode{B\lassign
+% B*A}$'';
+% \item `\texttt{+}' is replaced by
+% ``$\}A\gassign B\}\{\savecode{B\lassign
+% B+A}\{\savecode{B\lassign A}$'';
+% \item when we see (expect) a numeric quantity, we insert the
+% assignment code ``$A\gassign$'' in front of the quantity and let
+% \TeX\ parse it.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% \section{Implementation}
+%
+% For brevity define
+% \begin{calc-syntax}
+% \<numeric> \is \<number> \alt \<dimen> \alt \<glue> \alt \<muglue>
+% \end{calc-syntax}
+% So far we have ignored the question of how to determine the type of
+% register to be used in the code. However, it is easy to see that
+% (1)~`$*$' always initiates an \<integer factor>, (2)~all
+% \<numeric>s in an expression, except those which are part of an
+% \<integer factor>, are of the same type as the whole expression, and
+% all \<numeric>s in an \<integer factor> are \<number>s.
+%
+% We have to ensure that $A$ and~$B$ always have an appropriate type
+% for the \<numeric>s they manipulate. We can achieve this by having
+% an instance of $A$ and~$B$ for each type. Initially, $A$~and~$B$
+% refer to registers of the proper type for the whole expression.
+% When an \<integer factor> is expected, we must change $A$ and~$B$ to
+% refer to integer type registers. We can accomplish this by
+% including instructions to change the type of $A$ and~$B$ to integer
+% type as part of the replacement code for~`$*$; if we append such
+% instructions to the replacement code described above, we also ensure
+% that the type-change is local (provided that the type-changing
+% instructions only have local effect). However, note that the
+% instance of~$A$ referred to in $\savecode{B\lassign B*A}$ is the
+% integer instance of~$A$.
+%
+% We shall use |\begingroup| and |\endgroup| for the open-group and
+% close-group characters. This avoids problems with spacing in math
+% (as pointed out to us by Frank Mittelbach).

+% The |\calc@assign@generic| macro takes four arguments: (1~and~2) the
+% registers to be used
+% for global and local manipulations, respectively; (3)~the lvalue
+% part; (4)~the expression to be evaluated.
+%
+% The third argument (the lvalue) will be used as a prefix to a
+% register that contains the value of the specified expression (the
+% fourth argument).
+%
+% In general, an lvalue is anything that may be followed by a variable
+% of the appropriate type. As an example, |\linepenalty| and
+% |\global\advance\linepenalty| may both be followed by an \<integer
+% variable>.
+%
+% The macros described below refer to the registers by the names
+% |\calc@A| and |\calc@B|; this is accomplished by
+% |\let|-assignments.
+%
+% As discovered in Section~\ref{evaluation:scheme}, we have to
+% generate code as
+% if the expression is parenthesized. As described below,
+% |\calc@open| is the macro that replaces a left parenthesis by its
+% corresponding \TeX\ code sequence. When the scanning process sees
+% the exclamation point, it generates an |\endgroup| and stops. As we
+% recall from Section~\ref{evaluation:scheme}, the correct expansion
+% of a right
+% parenthesis is ``$\}A\gassign B\}A\gassign B$''. The remaining
+% tokens of this expansion are inserted explicitly, except that the
+% last assignment has been replaced by the lvalue part (i.e.,
+% argument~|#3| of |\calc@assign@generic|) followed by |\calc@B|.

+% \subsection{The scanner}
+%
+% We evaluate expressions by explicit scanning of characters. We do
+% not rely on active characters for this.
+%
+% The scanner consists of two parts, |\calc@pre@scan| and
+% |\calc@post@scan|; |\calc@pre@scan| consumes left parentheses, and
+% |\calc@post@scan| consumes binary operator, |\real|, |\ratio|, and
+% right parenthesis tokens.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@pre@scan}
+% \begin{macro}{\@calc@pre@scan}
+% \changes{v4.2}{2005/08/06}
+% {Added macro and force expansion}
+%
+% Note that this is called at least once on every use of calc
+% processing, even when none of the extended syntax is present; it
+% therefore needs to be made very efficient.
+%
+% It reads the initial part of expressions, until some \<text dimen
+% factor> or \<numeric> is seen; in fact, anything not explicitly
+% recognized here is taken to be a \<numeric> of some sort as this
+% allows unary
+% `\texttt{+}' and unary `\texttt{-}' to be treated easily and
+% correctly\footnote{In the few contexts where signs are allowed:
+% this could, I think, be extended (CAR).} but means that anything
+% illegal will simply generate a \TeX-level error, often a
+% reasonably comprehensible one!
+%
+% The |\romannumeral-`\a| part is a little trick which forces expansion
+% in case |#1| is a normal macro, something that occurs from time to
+% time. A conditional test inside will possibly leave a trailing
+% \cs{fi} but this remnant is removed later when \cs{calc@post@scan}
+% performs the same trick.
+%
+% The many |\expandafter|s are needed to efficiently end the nested
+% conditionals so that |\calc@textsize| and |\calc@maxmin@addsub| can
+% process their argument.

+% The macro |\calc@post@scan| is called right after a value has been

+%
+% This macro may be optimized by selecting a different order of

+% placed first as it will always be performed: this is the only test
+% to be performed if the expression consists of a single \<numeric>.

+% \subsection{Calculating a ratio}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@ratio@multiply}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@ratio@divide}
+% When |\calc@post@scan| encounters a |\ratio| control sequence, it hands
+% control to one of the macros |\calc@ratio@multiply| or |\calc@ratio@divide|,
+% depending on the preceding character. Those macros both forward the
+% control to the macro |\calc@ratio@evaluate|, which performs two steps: (1) it
+% calculates the ratio, which is saved in the global macro token
+% |\calc@the@ratio|; (2) it makes sure that the value of |\calc@B| will be
+% multiplied by the ratio as soon as the current group ends.
+%
+% The following macros call |\calc@ratio@evaluate| which multiplies
+% |\calc@B| by the ratio, but |\calc@ratio@divide| flips the arguments
+% so that the `opposite' fraction is actually evaluated.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\calc@ratio@multiply\ratio{\calc@ratio@evaluate}
+\def\calc@ratio@divide\ratio#1#2{\calc@ratio@evaluate{#2}{#1}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@Ccount}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@numerator}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@denominator}
+% We shall need two registers for temporary usage in the
+% calculations. We can save one register since we can reuse
+% |\calc@Bcount|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newcount\calc@Ccount
+\let\calc@numerator=\calc@Bcount
+\let\calc@denominator=\calc@Ccount
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@ratio@evaluate}
+% Here is the macro that handles the actual evaluation of ratios. The
+% procedure is
+% this: First, the two expressions are evaluated and coerced to
+% integers. The whole procedure is enclosed in a group to be able to
+% use the registers |\calc@numerator| and |\calc@denominator| for temporary
+% manipulations.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\calc@ratio@evaluate#1#2{%
+ \endgroup\begingroup
+ \calc@assign@dimen\calc@numerator{#1}%
+ \calc@assign@dimen\calc@denominator{#2}%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% Here we calculate the ratio. First, we check for negative numerator
+% and/or denominator; note that \TeX\ interprets two minus signs the
+% same as a plus sign. Then, we calculate the integer part.
+% The minus sign(s), the integer part, and a decimal point, form the
+% initial expansion of the |\calc@the@ratio| macro.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \gdef\calc@the@ratio{}%
+ \ifnum\calc@numerator<0 \calc@numerator-\calc@numerator
+ \gdef\calc@the@ratio{-}%
+ \fi
+ \ifnum\calc@denominator<0 \calc@denominator-\calc@denominator
+ \xdef\calc@the@ratio{\calc@the@ratio-}%
+ \fi
+ \calc@Acount\calc@numerator
+ \divide\calc@Acount\calc@denominator
+ \xdef\calc@the@ratio{\calc@the@ratio\number\calc@Acount.}%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% Now we generate the digits after the decimal point, one at a time.
+% When \TeX\ scans these digits (in the actual multiplication
+% operation), it forms a fixed-point number with 16~bits for
+% the fractional part. We hope that six digits is sufficient, even
+% though the last digit may not be rounded correctly.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \calc@next@digit \calc@next@digit \calc@next@digit
+ \calc@next@digit \calc@next@digit \calc@next@digit
+ \endgroup
+% \end{macrocode}
+% Now we have the ratio represented (as the expansion of the global
+% macro |\calc@the@ratio|) in the syntax \<decimal constant>
+% \cite[page~270]{texbook}. This is fed to |\calc@multiply@by@real|
+% that will
+% perform the actual multiplication. It is important that the
+% multiplication takes place at the correct grouping level so that the
+% correct instance of the $B$ register will be used. Also note that
+% we do not need the |\aftergroup| mechanism in this case.

+% \end{macrocode}
+% (Note that this code wouldn't work if |\calc@B| were a muglue
+% register. This is the real reason why the \texttt{calc} package
+% doesn't support muglue expressions. To support muglue expressions
+% in full, the |\calc@multiply@by@real| macro must use a muglue register
+% instead of |\calc@Bdimen| when |\calc@B| is a muglue register;
+% otherwise, a dimen register should be used. Since integer
+% expressions can appear as part of a muglue expression, it would be

+% \begin{macro}{\maxof}
+% \begin{macro}{\minof}
+% \changes{v4.2}{2005/08/06}
+% {Added macros}
+% With version 4.2, the $\max$ and $\min$ operators were
+% added to \texttt{calc}. The user functions for them are \cs{maxof} and
+% \cs{minof} respectively.
+% These macros are internally similar to \cs{widthof} etc.\ in that they
+% are unexpandable and easily recognizable by the scanner.
+% \begin{macrocode}

+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@Cskip}
+% \begin{macro}{\ifcalc@count@}
+% The $\max$ and $\min$ operations take two arguments so we need an extra
+% \<skip> register. We also add a switch for determining when to perform
+% a \<skip> or a \<count> assignment.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newskip\calc@Cskip
+\newif\ifcalc@count@
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@maxmin@addsub}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@maxmin@generic}
+% \changes{v4.2}{2005/08/06}{Macros added}
+% When doing addition or subtraction with a $\max$ or $\min$ operator, we
+% first check if |\calc@A| is a \<count> register or not and then set the
+% switch. Then call the real function which sets |\calc@A| to the desired
+% value and continue as usual with |\calc@post@scan|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\calc@maxmin@addsub#1#2#3{\begingroup
+ \ifx\calc@A\calc@Acount%
+ \calc@count@true
+ \else
+ \calc@count@false
+ \fi
+ \calc@maxmin@generic#1{#2}{#3}%
+ \endgroup
+ \calc@post@scan
+}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% Check the switch and do either \<count> or \<skip> assignments. Note that
+% |\maxof| and |\minof| are not set to |>| and |<| until after the
+% assignments, which ensures we can nest them without problems. Then set
+% |\calc@A| to the correct one.
+% \begin{macrocode}

+% \begin{macro}{\calc@maxmin@multiply}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@maxmin@divide}
+% \changes{v4.2}{2005/08/06}{Macros added}
+% When doing division or multiplication we must be using \<count> registers
+% so we set the switch. Other than that it is almost business as usual when
+% multiplying or dividing. |#1| is the instruction to either multiply or
+% divide |\calc@B| by |\calc@A|, |#2| is either |\maxof| or |\minof| which
+% is waiting in the input stream and |#3| and |#4| are the calc expressions.
+% We end it all as usual by calling |\calc@post@scan|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\calc@maxmin@divmul#1#2#3#4{%

+ \calc@count@true

+% The two functions called when seeing a |*| or a |/|.

+% \section{Reporting errors}
+% \begin{macro}{\calc@error}
+% \changes{v4.0d}{1997/11/08}
+% {Use \cs{PackageError} for error messages (DPC)}
+% \changes{v4.0e}{1997/11/11}
+% {typo fixed}
+% If |\calc@post@scan| reads a character that is not one of `\texttt{+}',
+% `\texttt{-}', `\texttt{*}', `\texttt{/}', or `\texttt{)}', an error
+% has occurred, and this is reported to the user. Violations in the
+% syntax of \<numeric>s will be detected and reported by \TeX.
+% \changes{v4.1a}{1998/06/07}
+% {Improved, I hope, error message: CAR}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\calc@error#1{%
+ \PackageError{calc}%
+ {`#1' invalid at this point}%
+ {I expected to see one of: + - * / )}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}

+% \section{Other additions}
+% \begin{macro}{\@settodim}
+% \changes{v4.2}{2005/08/06}
+% {Changed kernel macro}
+% \begin{macro}{\settototalheight}
+% \changes{v4.2}{2005/08/06}
+% {Added macro}
+% The kernel macro \cs{@settodim} is changed so that it runs through a list
+% containing \cs{ht}, \cs{wd}, and \cs{dp} and than advance the length
+% one step at a time. We just have to use a scratch register in case the
+% user decides to put in a \cs{global} prefix on the length register.
+% A search on the internet confirmed that some people do that kind of thing.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\@settodim#1#2#3{%
+ \setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{{#3}}%
+ \dimen@ii=\z@
+ \@tf@r\reserved@a #1\do{%
+ \advance\dimen@ii\reserved@a\@tempboxa}%
+ #2=\dimen@ii
+ \setbox\@tempboxa\box\voidb@x}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% Now the user level macro is straightforward.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\settototalheight{\@settodim{\ht\dp}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% That's the end of the package.
