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.
Another alternative if you're using bash (which you probably are) is something simple like function calc() { echo $[$*]; } Note, you can't have spaces in your expression, but that's not a big deal. use it like "calc 2*3**4" (note ** is the exponential operator, you can man bash for the others.) *link removed*.
