It can accept a command line +argument, in which case it executes that single command and exits. +Otherwise it enters interactive mode. In this mode, it accepts +commands one at a time, processes them, and displays the answers. +In the simplest case, commands are simply expressions which are +evaluated. For example, he following line can be input: +> 3 * (4 + 1) +and the calculator will print 15. + +Commands are statements in a C-like language, where each input line +is treated as the body of a procedure. Thus he copmmand line can +contain variable declarations, expressions, labels, conditional +tests, and loops. Assignments to any variable name will automatically +define that name as a global variable. + +For more information on the program, run 'calc help help'. |
