basic calculator from terminal command line

Tucked away in the commands available in terminal.app theres a basic interactive calculator which is handy. Type arithmetic using plus, minus, multiply and divide keys and numbers. Simple. Well no, theres a whole lot more you can do but thats all I use it for.

Example

mac:~ macuser$ bc
bc 1.06
