for(i=1; i<=10; i++) e(i)

WARNINGS

There are currently no && (AND) or ||

(OR) comparisons.

The

for statement must have all three expressions.

quit is interpreted when read, not when executed.

bc’s parser is not robust in the face of input errors. Some simple expression such as 2+2 helps get it back

into phase.

The assignment operators:

=+ =- =* =/ =%

and =ˆ are obsolete. Any occurences of these

operators cause a syntax error with the exception of

=- which is interpreted as = followed by a unary

minus.

Neither entire arrays nor functions can be passed as function parameters.
