# dc
> An arbitrary precision calculator. Uses reverse polish notation (RPN).
> See also: `bc`.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/dc-1.05/html_mono/dc.html>.
- Run calculator in interactive mode:
- Start an interactive session:
`dc`
- Execute dc script in file:
- Execute a script:
`dc -f {{file}}`
`dc {{path/to/script.dc}}`
- Calculate 4 times 5 [4 5 *], subtract 17 [17 -], and [p]rint the output (using echo):
- Calculate an expression with the specified scale:
`echo "4 5 * 17 - p"| dc`
`dc --expression='{{10}} k {{5 3 /}} p'`
- Set number of decimal places to 7 [7 k], calculate 5 divided by -3 [5 _3 /] and [p]rint (using dc -e):
- Calculate 4 times 5 (4 5 *), subtract 17 (17 -), and [p]rint the output:
`dc -e "7 k 5 _3 / p"`
`dc --expression='4 5 * 17 - 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:
- Set number of decimal places to 7 (7 k), calculate 5 divided by -3 (5 _3 /) and [p]rint:
`dc -e "100 k 5 v 1 + 2 / p"`
`dc --expression='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:
`dc --expression='100 k 5 v 1 + 2 / p'`
