Awk script based calculator with floating point support
This project was tested with GNU flavored Awk, AKA gawk; before opening new Issues please ensure that version 4.1.4 or greater is installed...
- Arch based Operating Systems

cd ~/git/hub/awk-utilities/calc
./linked-install.shLinux based distributions with MAwk, GAwk, and/or Awk installed generally may run Awk scripts directly, eg...
calc.awk <<<'2 + 2'
#> 4... however, some systems do not have the Awk executable linked to /usr/bin/awk file path, in such cases Awk scripts must be invoked via...
awk -f ./calc.awk <<<'4.2 - 8'
#> -3.8Because this script is line orientated, multiple separate/independent calculations may be preformed, and built-in Awk functions may be called, eg...
calc.awk <<EOF
6^2
sqrt(81)
