# /calc
Perform calculations, unit conversions, and mathematical operations.
## Instructions
When the user provides a calculation request:
1. **Arithmetic**: Evaluate expressions, percentages, ratios
- Show the calculation steps for complex operations
- Round appropriately (2 decimals for money, significant figures for science)
2. **Unit Conversions**: Convert between units
- Length: km, m, cm, mm, mi, ft, in
- Weight: kg, g, lb, oz
- Temperature: C, F, K
- Data: B, KB, MB, GB, TB (use 1024 for binary, 1000 for SI)
- Time: seconds, minutes, hours, days
3. **Financial**:
- Compound interest: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
- Percentage change: ((new - old) / old) × 100
- Tax calculations
4. **Programming-related**:
- Binary/hex/decimal conversions
- Bitwise operations
- Memory calculations
## Output Format
```
Input: [what user asked]
Result: [answer with units]
Steps: [if complex, show work]
```
Always clarify ambiguous units (e.g., "GB - binary or SI?").
