But but but...

  • It's all very well to say you will use integer arithmetic internally

  • But you really can't avoid fractions

    • The input numbers might be fractions

  • Holman's original version:

        % echo 1.1 1.9 2.1 2.9 4.1 4.9 | spark                                 
        ./spark: line 86: 4.9 / 7 : syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator
                  (error token is ".9 / 7 ")  
  • My version is better:

        % echo 1.1 1.9 2.1 2.9 4.1 4.9 |./spark                                 
        ▂▃▃▄▅▆
