## gnu bc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--standard: Process exactly the POSIX bc language.
|
|
|
|
|
Could define my own rng, and use arrays to do the seed thing
|

|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Numbers are arbitrary precision numbers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
length ( expression )
|
|
|
|
|
scale (expression)
|
|
|
|
|
scale=100
|
|
|
|
|
define t(x) {
|
|
|
|
|
return(2);
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apparently posix bc only has one-letter functions, lol
|
|
|
|
|
Extensions needed: multi-letter functions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Decisions, decisions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe target gh-bc, and then see about making it POSIX complicant later?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Decide between GH's bc, POSIX bc, and gnu bc
|
|
|
|
|
- Start with POSIX for now
|
|
|
|
|
- Can't do POSIX, one letter functions are too annoying
|
