(FreeBSD 10.1) I've been staring at this for a bit, trying to understand what I'm doing incorrectly. Maybe I'm blinded to my error because I'm too close to it. In any case.... I have an expression that I want to use dc to evaluate. I want zero decimal places in the answer. I've simplified my more complex expression down to something simple. # dc -e "100 .333 * p" 33.300 I'd like to see 33 as the answer, not 33.300 So I then tried # dc -e "100 .333 * 0k p" and I still got 33.300 as the answer. I had thought that the "0k" would result in a precision of zero, i.e., zero decimal places in the answer. Where have I gone astray? thanks.
