    Call me a plebian but I still open up Python when I want to do calculations in the command line because I don’t know how to in Bash.

      It’s complicated.

      $((5+8))

      doesn’t support floats. For float you need bc and I always have to look up how to use it. You have to tell it how many numbers it should show scale=2;5/8, by default it also only does integer.
