Summary : GNU bc - command line calculator
Description :
bc is an interpreter that supports numbers of arbitrary precision and
the interactive execution of statements. There are some
similarities in the syntax to the C programming language. A standard
math library is available through command line options. When used, the
math library is read in before any other input files. bc then reads
in all other files from the command line, evaluating their contents.
Then, bc reads from standard input (usually the keyboard).
The dc program is also included. Dc is a calculator which supports
reverse-polish notation and allows unlimited precision arithmetic.
Macros can also be defined. Normally, dc reads from standard in but
can also read in files specified on the command line. A calculator with
reverse-polish notation saves numbers to a stack. Arguments to
mathematical operations (operands) are "pushed" onto the stack until the
next operator is read in which "pops" its arguments off the stack and
"pushes" its results back onto the stack.
