|
|
|
- Execute dc script in file:

|
- Calculate 4 times 5 [4 5 *], subtract 17 [17 -], and [p]rint the output (using echo):
|
|
|
|
`echo "4 5 * 17 - p"| dc`
|
|
|
|
- Set number of decimal places to 7 [7 k], calculate 5 divided by -3 [5 _3 /] and [p]rint (using dc -e):
|
|
|
|
`dc -e "7 k 5 _3 / p"`
|
|
|
|
- Calculate the golden ratio, phi: Set number of decimal places to 100 [100 k], square root of 5 [5 v] plus 1 [1 +], divided by 2 [2 /], and [p]rint result:
