'bc' is an arbitrary precision numeric processing language
Its 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 compiler 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.
