Probably because debian-kernel is overwhelmed with the daily grind of
urgent bug reports. What you are asking about is

bc is priority standard. Doesn't that mean that there are Debian

bc is a great shell calculator gadget!
It also needs to be completely re-written. Re-designed, too, which probably
factored into the motivations for writing Python and Ruby.
Heh. bc is one of those tools you want to fix, but aren't sure how, and so
you keep using it and keep ignoring that you wan

By now, many others have set you straight about the scale variable. I just
wanted to let you know that invocated bc with the "-l" switch will set the
scale to 20, and load some math functions as well. Unless you have a good

the way to get natural logarithm of x is l(x)
When you start bc type bc -l or mc --mathlib to make the math library
available.
Also type
man bc
to get more about the capabilities of bc.
Hope this helps.

Or you could just use:
'bc -l' on invocation to get bc to treat numbers as 'longs'

Hi:
Re using bc.
Start bc.
then type scale=5 ( for five decimal places for example)
Then you can do your divisions.
Hope this helps.
