💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is ARITHMETIC(6), from the Games Manual, and the command is arithmetic — it’s literally a quiz on simple arithmetic, no cap 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arithmetic [-o +-x/] [-r range]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

arithmetic asks you to solve problems in simple arithmetic. Each question must be answered correctly before going on to the next — yes bestie, you have to actually get it right before the next one loads 😭✅

After every 20 problems, it prints the score so far and the time taken. Cute little progress check, honestly 🎀

You can quit at any time by entering 'q'. Byeee 👋💖

The options are giving:

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -o — okay so by default, arithmetic asks questions on addition of numbers from 0 to 10, and corresponding subtraction. If you supply one or more of the characters +-x/, you can ask for problems in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, respectively. And if you give one of these characters more than once, that kind of problem will be asked correspondingly more often — periodt 💅🔥
  • -r — if a range is supplied, arithmetic selects the numbers in its problems like this: for addition and multiplication, the numbers to be added or multiplied are from 1 to range. For subtraction and division, both the required result and the number to divide by or subtract will be from 1 to range. The default is 10 🍓

okay that’s the whole page!! source/version vibes: Debian, dated May 31, 1993, on the ARITHMETIC(6) page — byeeee bestie 🫶💖
