calc: Perform a calculation without any output formatting (for use with pipes).
$ calc -p '${4-3 * pi() * 5^3}'
try on your machine
The command "calc -p '${4-3 pi() 5^3}'" is invoking a command-line calculator called "calc" and using the "-p" flag to specify that the provided expression should be evaluated.
Let's break down the expression inside the single quotes:
- "${...}" indicates that the expression within the curly braces should be evaluated.
- "4 - 3 pi() 5^3" represents the calculation to be performed.
Breakdown of the calculation:
- "4" is subtracted from the result of the remaining calculation.
- "3 * pi()" multiplies the constant value of pi with 3.
- "5^3" raises the value 5 to the power of 3 (5 5 5).
So, this command essentially calculates the value of the expression "4 - 3 pi() 5^3".
