Bringing the math tools of Python to the command-line
Project description
Bringing the math tools of Python to the command-line
Doing math on the command-line is hard. Integer math can be done with BASH, but the only utility around for floating-point math is bc, and that can be confusing with its scale and precision. What if you want the power of Python’s math, perhaps programmatically? Enter: pmath.
Examples
Basic input:
$ pmath '3 + 4' 7 $ echo '3+4' | pmath 7 $ pmath <<< 3+4 7 $ pmath 'x=3;x+2' 5
You can set the output format with a -f switch:
$ pmath -f .4f <<< pow(2000, 1/3) 12.5992 $ pmath -f .4f <<< sin(pi/2) 1.0000
Enabling complex math operations is straightforward with -c:
$ pmath -c <<< exp(1j*pi).real -1.0 $ pmath -f.2f -c 'ang=3*pi/4; exp(1j*ang)' -0.71+0.71j
Installation
Running pip install pmath will install the command-line utility.
