Bc

Leg med bc

bc programmet er en avanceret regneprogram, som faktisk også har indbygget et programmeringssprog og som samtidig er forholdsvis nem at betjene.

Lidt leg med bc for at lære den at kende

Puha det var mange gange jeg skulle skrive 2*2*2... 32 gange. Heldigvis kan vi opløfte i potenser

Det er jo et stort tal. Bemærk backslashen i linerne betyder at linien fortsætter.

Funktioner

bc kan anvendes til meget komplicerede beregninger. I eksemplet herunder beregnes PI med 10.000 decimaler. Tager lidt tid.

[heth@mars ~]$ <input>bc -l -q
scale = 10000
(12*a(1/49)+32*a(1/57)-5*a(1/239)+12*a(1/110443))*4</input>

Andre talsystemer

bc kan anvende ethvert talsystem. For at lave et netværksfilter havde jeg brug for at omsætte min MAC-adresse som er hexadecimal til binært

Anvendelse af bc i scripts

Piping til bc

Fra script kunne hexadecimal til binær omregning som i sidste eksempel udføres som (Husk \n er nylinie tegnet)
