today i found the ‘bc’ linux command and found a strange behaviour when calculating with outputbase 10.
echo "ibase=16;obase=9;AFBE" | bc
67638
echo "ibase=16;obase=11;AFBE" | bc
09 02 11 08
echo "ibase=16;obase=10;AFBE" | bc
AFBE
well, command 1 and 2 are correct, but the third command simply prints the inputvalue.
echo "ibase=16;AFBE" | bc
44990
gives a correct result.
Is there any reason in this behaviour?
You’re not the first person to be caught by this.
Apparently you need to set
obasebeforeibase:
