MATHO-MULT(1)

โœจ MATHO-MULT โœจ (that's section 1 of the manual, bestie)

okay so this is matho-mult, a little utility from the Mathomatic squad, and it does exactly one thing but it does it flawlessly: it multiplies big ol' integers. ๐Ÿ’…


๐ŸŽ€ NAME ๐ŸŽ€

matho-mult โ€” multiply large integers ๐Ÿงฎโœจ


๐ŸŒธ SYNOPSIS ๐ŸŒธ

matho-mult [integers]

๐Ÿฆ‹ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿฆ‹

so like. this command-line utility is optionally part of the mathomatic(1) package. she's not always invited to the party, but when she is, she ate.

it uses Python to multiply a whole bunch of large integers that you separate with spaces or newlines. and when we say large, we mean it โ€” the size of the integers is only limited by the available memory of the computer. no cap. your RAM is the only thing standing between you and a number the length of a CVS receipt. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

the single integer result gets output to standard output, followed by a newline. one number. one line. clean. iconic. periodt. ๐Ÿ‘‘

the integers you want to multiply can come either way:

  • on the command line, right there in the arguments
  • or read from standard input

pick your vibe, bestie, both work. ๐Ÿซถ
