  <title>GNU Command Line Calculator</title>

  <description>bc is an interpreter that supports numbers of arbitrary precision and

the interactive execution of statements. The syntax has some

similarities 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 that supports

reverse-polish notation and allows unlimited precision arithmetic.

Macros can also be defined. Normally, dc reads from standard input 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.</description>
