calc: Perform a calculation in non-interactive mode.
$ calc '${85 * (36 - 4)}'
try on your machine
The command "calc '${85 * (36 - 4)}'" is used to perform a mathematical calculation using the command line calculator tool (usually the 'calc' command).
The expression inside the single quotes ('${85 * (36 - 4)}') is a mathematical calculation that needs to be evaluated. It involves the following operations:
- Inside the parentheses (36 - 4), we subtract 4 from 36, resulting in 32.
- Next, we multiply 32 by 85, which gives us 2720.
The dollar sign ('$') at the beginning of the expression is used to invoke variable substitution if present. In this case, there doesn't seem to be any variables, so it can be ignored.
To obtain the result of the calculation, you would execute the command in the command line, and the output should display the result, which is 2720 in this case.
