  1. dc

    DC, an acronym primarily referring to "Direct Current", is a type of current in which the flow of electric charge is only in one direction. It is the unidirectional flow of electric charge, unlike alternating current (AC) where the direction of the charge flow alternates. However, DC can also stand for other terms such as "District of Columbia" which is the capital of the United States, or "Detective Comics", a famous comic book publisher. The correct interpretation depends on the context the acronym is used in.

Wikidata

  1. dc

    dc is a cross-platform reverse-polish desk calculator which supports arbitrary-precision arithmetic. It is one of the oldest Unix utilities, predating even the invention of the C programming language; like other utilities of that vintage, it has a powerful set of features but an extremely terse syntax. Traditionally, the more user-friendly bc calculator program was implemented on top of dc, although more modern implementations are related in the opposite fashion: dc uses bc's library for arithmetic. This article provides some examples in an attempt to give a general flavour of the language; for a complete list of commands and syntax, one should consult the man page for one's specific implementation.
