Simple C Math Program
While writing an exercise for my book currently in editing, I wrote a quick utility for math operations on the CLI in Bash
* @file main.c
* @author Ron Brash
* @date Nov 16, 2017
* @brief Create a simple math helper for CLI usage in Bash
*
* @note To compile:
* gcc -Wall -O2 -o mhelper main.c -lm
