Bash内置了对整数四则运算的支持,但是并不支持浮点运算,而bc命令可以很方便的进行浮点运算,当然整数运算也不再话下。手册页上说bc是An arbitrary precision calculator language,即一个任意精度的计算语言,注意是一种语言,它提供了一些语法结构,比如条件判断、循环等,可以说是很强大的,但是我在实际中还没有找到需要这个用途的场合 。另外一个用途就是用来进行进制转换。
一般情况下,我们使用不带任何参数的bc命令。
bc
如果需要bc不输出提示信息,可以加上-q参数:
bc -q
如果要使用强大的数学库,比如计算三角函数,需要加上-l参数:
bc -l
因为bc本身是一个命令解释器,要退出它只要直接输入quit回车或者按Ctrl+D终止。

先复习一下初中的知识:b表示三角形的底,h表示三角形的高,那么三角形的面积计算公式是b*h/2 。
