Its most basic use is as a powerful and +convenient calculator, interactively evaluating expressions such as +1+2*sin(0.7). But hoc is no ordinary calculator: It also lets you +assign values to variables, define your own functions, and use loops, +conditionals, and everything else you'd expect in a programming +language. + +Hoc was developed by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike, and introduced in +their 1984 book The Unix Programming Environment.
