# omath

> *I made this as a learning experiment driven by curiosity to understand what libraries really are, how we build our own, and this was an attempt to deepen my understanding by going through the entire process.*

A Python library built from first principles for educational purposes.

[![Python 3.8+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.8+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[![No Dependencies](https://img.shields.io/badge/dependencies-none-green.svg)](#philosophy)

## Philosophy

This library intentionally avoids:
- External dependencies
- Standard library helpers (`str.lower()`, `str.split()`, `re`, `collections`, `itertools`)
- Built-in shortcuts

Everything is implemented using only:
- Loops and conditionals
- Lists and dicts
- Strings
- `ord()` and `chr()`

**Why?** To understand how things work at the lowest level. Every function in this library could be a teaching moment.

## Quick Start

```python

result = omath.multiply(7, 8)  # 56 (uses repeated addition internally)

# Geometry
area = omath.circle_area(5)  # 78.53975

# Strings
lower = omath.to_lowercase("HELLO")  # "hello" (uses ord/chr, not str.lower)
```

## API Reference

### Arithmetic Module

All arithmetic operations are implemented from first principles:
- `multiply()` uses repeated addition
- `divide()` uses repeated subtraction
- `power()` uses repeated multiplication

#### `add(a, b)`

Returns the sum of two numbers.

```python
>>> omath.add(10, 5)
15
>>> omath.add(-3, 7)
4
```

#### `subtract(a, b)`

Returns the difference of two numbers.

```python
>>> omath.subtract(10, 3)
7
>>> omath.subtract(5, 8)
-3
```

#### `multiply(a, b)`

Returns the product of two numbers using repeated addition.

```python
>>> omath.multiply(7, 8)
56
>>> omath.multiply(-4, 5)
-20
>>> omath.multiply(0, 100)
0
```

**How it works internally:**
```
multiply(3, 4) = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
```

#### `divide(a, b)`

Returns the integer quotient of a / b using repeated subtraction.

```python
>>> omath.divide(20, 4)
5
>>> omath.divide(17, 5)
3
>>> omath.divide(100, 7)
14
>>> omath.divide(10, 0)
None  # Division by zero returns None
```

**How it works internally:**
```
divide(17, 5):
  17 - 5 = 12 (count: 1)
  12 - 5 = 7  (count: 2)
  7 - 5 = 2   (count: 3)
  2 < 5, stop
  Result: 3
```

#### `modulo(a, b)`

Returns the remainder of a / b.

```python
>>> omath.modulo(17, 5)
2
>>> omath.modulo(100, 7)
2
>>> omath.modulo(10, 0)
None  # Modulo by zero returns None
```

#### `power(base, exponent)`

Returns base raised to exponent (non-negative integers only).

```python
>>> omath.power(2, 10)
1024
>>> omath.power(5, 3)
125
>>> omath.power(7, 0)
1
>>> omath.power(2, -1)
None  # Negative exponents not supported
```

**How it works internally:**
```
power(2, 4) = multiply(multiply(multiply(1, 2), 2), 2), 2)
            = 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16
```

#### `absolute(n)`

Returns the absolute value of n.

```python
>>> omath.absolute(-42)
42
>>> omath.absolute(42)
42
>>> omath.absolute(0)
0
```

#### `PI`

A constant approximation of pi (3.14159).

```python
>>> omath.PI
3.14159
```

---

### Geometry Module

Functions for calculating areas, perimeters, and volumes.

#### `circle_area(radius)`

Returns the area of a circle (PI * r^2).

```python
>>> omath.circle_area(5)
78.53975
>>> omath.circle_area(1)
3.14159
>>> omath.circle_area(10)
314.159
```

#### `circle_circumference(radius)`

Returns the circumference of a circle (2 * PI * r).

```python
>>> omath.circle_circumference(5)
31.4159
>>> omath.circle_circumference(1)
6.28318
```

#### `rectangle_area(width, height)`

Returns the area of a rectangle.

```python
>>> omath.rectangle_area(4, 5)
20
>>> omath.rectangle_area(10, 10)
100
```

#### `rectangle_perimeter(width, height)`

Returns the perimeter of a rectangle (2 * (width + height)).

```python
>>> omath.rectangle_perimeter(4, 5)
18
>>> omath.rectangle_perimeter(10, 10)
40
```

#### `triangle_area(base, height)`

Returns the area of a triangle (base * height / 2).

```python
>>> omath.triangle_area(10, 5)
25
>>> omath.triangle_area(8, 6)
24
```

#### `square_area(side)`

Returns the area of a square (side^2).

```python
>>> omath.square_area(5)
25
>>> omath.square_area(12)
144
```

#### `cube_volume(side)`

Returns the volume of a cube (side^3).

```python
>>> omath.cube_volume(3)
27
>>> omath.cube_volume(5)
125
```

---

### Strings Module

All string operations are implemented using `ord()` and `chr()` — no built-in string methods like `str.lower()` or `str.split()`.

#### `to_lowercase(s)`

Converts a string to lowercase using ASCII math.

```python
>>> omath.to_lowercase("HELLO WORLD")
'hello world'
>>> omath.to_lowercase("PyThOn")
'python'
>>> omath.to_lowercase("123 ABC")
'123 abc'
```

**How it works internally:**
```
'A' = chr(65), 'a' = chr(97)
Difference = 32
So: chr(ord('A') + 32) = 'a'
```

#### `to_uppercase(s)`

Converts a string to uppercase using ASCII math.

```python
>>> omath.to_uppercase("hello world")
'HELLO WORLD'
>>> omath.to_uppercase("PyThOn")
'PYTHON'
```

#### `split_by_char(s, delimiter)`

Splits a string by a delimiter character.

```python
>>> omath.split_by_char("a,b,c,d", ",")
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> omath.split_by_char("hello world", " ")
['hello', 'world']
>>> omath.split_by_char("one-two-three", "-")
['one', 'two', 'three']
```

#### `strip_whitespace(s)`

Removes leading and trailing whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines).

```python
>>> omath.strip_whitespace("  hello  ")
'hello'
>>> omath.strip_whitespace("\t\n  text  \n\t")
'text'
>>> omath.strip_whitespace("no_whitespace")
'no_whitespace'
```

#### `contains(haystack, needle)`

Checks if needle exists in haystack.

```python
>>> omath.contains("hello world", "world")
True
>>> omath.contains("hello world", "xyz")
False
>>> omath.contains("abcdef", "cde")
True
>>> omath.contains("short", "very long string")
False
```

#### `reverse_string(s)`

Reverses a string.

```python
>>> omath.reverse_string("hello")
'olleh'
>>> omath.reverse_string("Python")
'nohtyP'
>>> omath.reverse_string("12345")
'54321'
```

#### `is_palindrome(s)`

Checks if a string is a palindrome (ignores case and non-letter characters).

```python
>>> omath.is_palindrome("racecar")
True
>>> omath.is_palindrome("A man a plan a canal Panama")
True
>>> omath.is_palindrome("hello")
False
>>> omath.is_palindrome("Was it a car or a cat I saw")
True
```

#### `char_count(s)`

Counts occurrences of each character in a string.

```python
>>> omath.char_count("hello")
{'h': 1, 'e': 1, 'l': 2, 'o': 1}
>>> omath.char_count("aaa")
{'a': 3}
>>> omath.char_count("abab")
{'a': 2, 'b': 2}
```

## Submodule Access

You can also import submodules directly:

```python
# Import specific module
from omath import arithmetic
from omath import geometry
from omath import strings

# Use functions
arithmetic.multiply(5, 5)
geometry.circle_area(10)
strings.reverse_string("test")
```

Or import specific functions:

```python
from omath import add, multiply, power
from omath import circle_area, rectangle_area
from omath import to_lowercase, is_palindrome

result = multiply(add(2, 3), power(2, 3))  # (2+3) * 2^3 = 40
```

---

## Educational Value

This library is designed to help you understand:

1. **How multiplication works** — It's just repeated addition
2. **How division works** — It's just repeated subtraction
3. **How string methods work** — ASCII codes and character manipulation
4. **How Python packages work** — Module structure, `__init__.py`, imports

### Example: Understanding `to_lowercase()`

Instead of using `str.lower()`, we use ASCII math:

```python
def to_lowercase(s):
    result = ''
    for char in s:
        code = ord(char)
        # A-Z are 65-90, a-z are 97-122
        # Difference is 32
        if 65 <= code <= 90:
            result = result + chr(code + 32)
        else:
            result = result + char
    return result
```
