IRIX and Software

ah'll be a monkey's uncle

Type < man dc >
'dc' has been a standard part of UNIX since 1970 or so ...

Or did I miss something? :)

I never paid attention to the fact that it's an rpn calculator. Nice ! :D
Yep, been that way since it was created by Dennis Ritchie on Bell Labs' PDP-7 :D

Whaddaya expect from a calculator created by computer science people?

Much better than one calculator I tried (think it was the Windows calc) that didn't reliably do order-of-operations correctly.

The Windows default calculator has different behavior depending on mode. In "Standard" mode, it ignores order of operations, and applies operators as you type. In "Scientific" mode, it follows standard order of operations rules. Try this:

2+3*4

It returns 20 in Standard mode and 14 in Scientific mode.

A good reason to keep a real RPN calculator nearby. You can trust the results. ;)
