  • bc

    An implementation of the POSIX bc calculator with GNU extensions and dc, moved away from GitHub. Finished, but well-maintained.

    • Shameless plug: my bc [1] has a random number generator that is much higher quality than the shell one. Because it's bc, you can generate random numbers of any size, and you can generate random reals as well.

    It is also seeded.
