Is there any software or programming lang for getting maths answers step by step?

When I type the question it should give a brief answer,
for example
when I type (2+2)*2 it should show me
(2+2)*2
=(4)*2
=8
and it should not be like this
(2+2)*2=8
(it shouldn't be like a calculator that shows only the final answer).

    Usually if I want to see intermediate steps, I do the intermediate steps. For example, I type $2+2$, the response is $4$. Then I type $4 * 2$, the response is $8$. – David K Dec 17 '15 at 14:48
  • There are software "theorem provers" that can show step-by-step how they solved a problem. I believe a person requires some training in order to use one properly. You might be able to ask such a program to prove the answer your calculator gave; it would then show you, step-by-step, why $(2+2)\times 2 = 8$. – David K Dec 17 '15 at 14:52
  • @DavidK i wish to see the intermediate steps for difficult problems, not for these simple problems. – Akash Preet Dec 17 '15 at 14:53
  • Those are also the problems for which I would use my technique. I used a simple example because that was the example you gave. In practice I might evaluate a more complicated expression in one step as part of an even more complex expression. – David K Dec 17 '15 at 14:55
  • @DavidK you thought me wrong i am asking you about the " theorem provers" is it possible to see the intermediate steps for difficult problems? – Akash Preet Dec 17 '15 at 14:59
  • Yes, that was the point. A proof is a set of intermediate steps that show a formula to be true. At least some provers should produce a proof as their output; that is what "proving a theorem" usually means. But it has been a long time since I have looked at software of that kind and I cannot tell you much about what would be available today. – David K Dec 17 '15 at 18:25

For simple queries, Symbolab seems like a decent tool. This might be sufficient for your needs. Cymath seems to be a similar tool.

Wolfram Alpha has a paid "Pro" subscription service which can answer some queries step by step as well.
