 ' DEDICATION:
 '
 ' This program is dedicated to my wife Laleh, and our three children,
 '  Ozra, Shahraam, and Arehzou, who give up a lot of their time with
 '           me so I can program at this infernal keyboard!
 '
 ' USE RESTRICTIONS:
 '
 ' If you have a wife, give her a hug and kiss.  If you have kids, do ' the
 ' same.  Only then do you have the right to use this code.  ;-)
 '                  [and the QUIK_BAS echo said AMEN]
 '
 ' FEATURES EXPLAINED:
 '
 '   1. addition, subtraction, multiplation, division
 '
 '   This FUNCTION can solve equations such as:
 '
 '       5+4
 '       5*89
 '       6/5
 '
 '   2. integer division, modulo division, nth root extraction
 '
 '   This FUNCTION can solve equations using standard extensions:
 '
 '       5%2  (5 MOD 2)
 '       5\2  (integer division)
 '       2]25 (square root of 25)
 '       3]8  (cube root of 8)
 '
 '   3. factorial expansion
