.SH DESCRIPTION
59
.B Myc
60
is a simple calculator capable of all operations available in C.
61
Commands are entered in infix notation. It is possible to use parentheses.
62
If a
63
.BR myc -command
64
is specified on the command-line, the result is echoed and
65
.B myc
66
exits immediately.
67
If invoked with no arguments,
68
.B myc
69
starts reading commands from standard-in.
70
.B myc
71
understands the following binary infix operators (from highest priority to
72
lowest):
73
.B **
74
(power),
75
.B *
76
(multiply),
77
.B /
78
(divide),
79
.B %
80
(modulo),
81
.B +
82
(add),
83
.B -
84
(subtract),
85
.B <<
86
(shift left),
87
.B >>
88
(shift right),
89
.B <
90
(less),
91
.B <=
92
(less or equal),
93
.B >
94
(greater),
95
.B >=
96
(greater or equal),
97
.B ==
98
(equal),
99
.B !=
100
(not equal),
101
.B &
102
(arithmetical and),
103
.B |
104
(arithmetical or),
105
.B ^
106
(arithmetical exclusive or),
107
.B &&
108
(logical and),
109
.B ||
110
(logical or),
111
.B =
112
(assign); and the following unary prefix operators:
113
.B -
114
(negate, unary minus),
115
.B !
116
(logical not),
117
.B ~
118
(bitwise complement).
119
.B myc
120
knows three data types:
121
.BR boolean ,
122
.B integer
123
(32 bit),
124
.B float
125
(64 bit, equivalent to C double).
126
On some esoteric platforms the precision of integer and float may be
127
different.
128
As in C the result of a division depends on the data types of the operands.
129
An integer divided by an integer yields an integer.
130
If you want the result to be a float, make sure one of the operands is a
131
float, e.g. type
132
.I 4/7.
133
instead of
134
.I 4/7
135
or
136
.I a/(b+0.)
137
instead of
138
.IR a/b .
139
The power operation returns a float if the result is too large to fit in an
140
integer.
141
The result of a calculation is stored in the special variables
142
.B $$
143
and
144
.BI $ n
145
where
146
.I n
147
is the number of the command.
