What about calc (currently in the package of that name, formerly in the package apcalc)? That being what I've used for over a decade now. Reading through the bc man page, it looks to me as if using calc it should take comparable numbers of keystrokes, aside from typing the name of the program itself. In some contexts it could even need fewer; for example, calc (as shipped in Debian) provides the built-in function 'pi()', which takes a precision - expressed as a value between zero and one - and returns pi to that level of precision. The list of built-in functions in the bc man page is very short, and doesn't include any such thing, so unless something has added one without the man page getting updated anything that needs to use pi is going to take more typing than with calc. calc also has the option to present non-integer output in the form of a ratio of two integers, which means you don't have to figure out manually what fraction a given result is; at a skim, I don't see indication that bc has comparable functionality. I've heard recommendation of bc before, but to date I've yet to encounter anything that makes it seem preferable over calc, and I'm curious what I'm missing. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Most probably you're missing nothing. I picked up bc years ago because it's a build dependency for the kernel. It solves my needs, and I happen to remember pi up to 8 digits so the lack of pi() function is not an issue to me. On a side note, "calc" is 4 letters, and "bc" is two :) Reco

(It turns out I got the specification of what the precision can be
expressed as wrong, and "precision" may not be the correct term for it
anyway; see below.)
I don't understand the full algorithm myself, but the output seems
coherent:
$ calc
C-style arbitrary precision calculator (version 2.12.7.2)
Calc is open software. For license details type: help copyright
[Type "exit" to exit, or "help" for help.]
; pi(.5)
3
; pi(.1)
3.1
; pi(.9)
2.7
; pi(.05)
3.15
; pi(.0005)
3.1415
; pi(.00005)
3.1416
; pi(.00001)
3.14159
; pi(.00009)
3.1416
I generally just use something like 'pi(.0000000000000001)' (i.e., hold
down the 0 key for a while in between . and 1), and that produces all
the precision I could really care for. The limit that gets printed (at
least with default configuration) appears to be
; pi(.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001)
~3.14159265358979323846
and you can get that same visible result with a much shorter precision
value. I expect that there are configuration settings which will
increase the displayed precision, but I've never needed to find them.
Also, it turns out that it accepts values >=1 and <=0 as well:
; pi(5)
5
; pi(10)
0
; pi(50)
0
; pi(3)
3
; pi(4)
4
; pi(2)
4
; pi(-1)
3
; pi(0)
zero epsilon value for pi
; pi(1)
3
The results just aren't very useful.

Yep - as soon as I saw someone point out what this flag did, I figured
this would be in there somewhere. (I didn't figure it out from looking
the flag up in the man page, but that's me.)

Definitely convenient, but also requires knowing more about math than
I've managed to internalize over the decades to figure out. I would not
have thought of multiplying by the arctangent of 1 (or of anything) to
arrive at pi.

Perhaps it's connected with the facility you mentioned earlier, the option to present non-integer output in the form of a ratio of two integers. Cheers, David.

Based on a bit more digging, apparently calc does also have an atan() function, which produces the arctangent of its argument; atan(1)*4 gives 3.14159265358979323848. Oddly, that last digit is not the same as what 'bc -l' gave from '4*a(1)' in Greg's demonstration; it looks like atan(1) gives a value which is off in the very last displayed decimal place from what Greg gave. I suspect that there is display rounding involved on one side or the other. atan() is of course more typing than a(), but it's also both arguably more guessable (without already knowing function names) and definitely more identifiable (in terms of recognizing what the function does from the name), so there's a tradeoff. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

I suspect that there is display rounding > involved on one side or the other. One doesn't expect the last few digits of precision to be... precise. ;-) When using bc with its default scale of 20, for most calculations you'll end up with however much precision you *actually* want (say, 5 or 6 digits) after you round the final value. It's not intended to be absolutely correct to 20 digits. It simply *uses* 20 digits in all of its intermediate calculations. As I pointed out earlier, the rounding errors accumulate.

I used to have a simple alias for tcsh which just evaluated the command
line via awk, awk "BEGIN{ print $* }". But then, I haven't used tsch
since 2002 or so.
But still, with zsh I'm really doing the same thing, except in zsh it's
a combination of an alias and a function.

Just plain `calculator'.

I create my own themes out of preexisting ones. ALL the keys become "invisible" on some of the other calculators. I genuinely hate when that happens. YES, it's fixable. There are some other "priorities" lined up in the queue ahead of it... unfortunately. Just waiting on a delivery truck this very second, actually. > Does anybody read signatures any more? I do!

I'm having trouble with Galculator. What kind of trouble? If bugginess, you should file a bug report. I use Galculator all the time (albeit for simple things), and it works fine. Celejar
