bc in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own bc package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so bc should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • bc

Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.

Calculators and unit converters run in Breadstick's Terminal as on any Linux system. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About bc

From Debian's package description

GNU bc is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision which follows the POSIX 1003.2 draft standard, with several extensions including multi-character variable names, an `else' statement and full Boolean expressions. GNU bc does not require the separate GNU dc program.

From Debian's description of the bc package, under that package's license.
