== Description: ==
The fussy program implements a scripting language with an algorithm for
automatic error propagation of random measurement errors in an arbitrary
mathematical expression. The program can be used as a simple interactive
calculator with error propagation. Mathematical expressions can be implemented
as a collection of sub-expressions, as sub-program units (functions or
procedures) or as single atomic expressions. Sub-expressions can be assigned
to temporary variables which can then be used to write the final expression.
The interpreter is internally implemented as a virtual machine for efficient
runtime performance and can be used as an interpreter in a client code as
well. A simple C binding to the interpreter is also provided.

The scripting syntax of fussy is similar to that of C programming language. It
is easy, particularly for those familiar with programming in C, to use fussy
with minimal learning. In its simplest form, fussy interpretor can be used
interactively as a simple calculator with the added feature of automatic error
prorogation (see syntax for simple expressions, sub-expressions, and
functions/procedure).


== Other Comments: ==
The code depends only on libraries and tools available on standard  GNU/Linux
system.

We currently host the project on GitHub:
