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:
$ pmath -c 'exp(1j*pi).real' -1.0
