>From the man page: wcalc is a command-line calculator designed to accept all valid mathematical expressions. It supports all standard mathematical operations, parenthesis, brackets, trigonometric functions, hyperbolic trig functions, logs, and bool‐ ean operators.
>From whatever little I have seen of it it is absolutely brilliant. It will give bc(1) or any other tool a run for the money. Here is a sample session. $ wcalc -> ? sin cos tan cot asin acos atan acot sinh cosh tanh coth asinh acosh atanh acoth log ln logtwo round abs ceil floor sqrt cbrt comp Gamma lnGamma zeta sinc -> sin 60 = 0.866025 -> cos 90 = 0 -> tan 45 = 1 -> sqrt(123234) = 351.047 -> log(e) = 0.434294 -> log(2.71828) = 0.434294 -> ln(e) = 1 There is also a non interactive mode. $ wcalc 'sin 90' = 1 which you can use in shell scripts. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
