Shell calculator?

Addis · 14-02-2006, 05:25 PM

I was trying to find a a calculator in bash? Anyone know if one exists, preferably a simple "eval 22 / 7" syntax.

I had to resort to writing a small C++ one, but I'm sure there must be a good one somewhere.

There are two shell calculators that I know of that are standard GNU/Linux tools: expr and bc.
