Package: num-utils
Version: 0.5-9
Severity: normal
The manual claims 'numprocess' can calculate exponents:
man numprocess | grep -n '\^'
35: $ numprocess /^2,*pi/ radii
45: ^ Power function
Expected hex dump for '5' cubed:
echo 125 | hexdump
0000000 3231 0a35
0000004
But 'numprocess' returns garbage ('hexdump' is needed to show garbage
nicely in this 7-bit ASCII email):
echo 5 | numprocess '/^3/' | hexdump
0000000 0a06
0000002
The manual (line #45 above) expression using '*pi' returns:
echo 5 | numprocess /^2,*pi/
Argument "^G" isn't numeric in multiplication (*) at /usr/bin/numprocess
line 147, <STDIN> line 1.
0
Hope this helps...
