About:
Calc is a high-precision, interactive calculator that supports arbitrary precision arithmetic. It offers a rich set of mathematical functions and a C-like syntax, making it suitable for complex scientific and engineering computations.
Key Features:
  • Arbitrary precision arithmetic
  • Interactive and scriptable modes
  • Extensive library of mathematical functions
Use Cases:
  • Scientific and engineering calculations
  • Financial computations requiring high precision
  • Scripting complex mathematical operations
Alternatives:
  • bc – Standard Unix calculator with arbitrary precision, but less feature-rich than calc
  • python3 – General-purpose language with math libraries, heavier than calc for simple calculations
