!Handy Variables
scale - scale defines how some operations use digits after the decimal point . (Default 0)
So if you type ''5/5'' ''bc'' interprets this as 5.00000/5.00000. and the answer is 1.00000
last - is a variable that has the value of the last printed number.
So if you have a running total in ''bc'' of 100, then last+10 would result in 110.
