Bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language.
Syntax is similar to C, but differs in many substantial areas.
It supports interactive execution of statements.
Bc is a utility included in the POSIX P1003.2/D11 draft standard.
This version does not use the historical method of having bc be a calculator for the dc calculator (the POSIX document doesn't specify how bc must be implemented).
This version has a single executable that both compiles the language and runs the resulting 'byte code.' The byte code is not the dc language.
