It's just normal shell code.

One point worthy of note is that it's within an "emulate -L zsh", so you can put in any option settings that will only apply within the function.  You can add stuff like

float myfloat=3.19824

Each line in zcalc is evaluated separately as a $(( ... )) expression --- so it determines
each time if each value is a floating point or integer.  For floating point just make sure there
are decimal points on the numbers.  But if you want you can

setopt force_float

in the initialisation file.
