BC may refer to any of the following:
1. With a command, bc is a language for performing arbitrary-precision math calculations. See our Linux bc command page for further information, syntax, and examples.
2. B.C. is short for "before Christ" and describes the time before the birth of Jesus Christ. Some choose to use BCE (before common era) as a way to describe the same period and avoid religious connotation. See our computer history B.C. - A.D. 1000 page to see some early events in human history that helped develop computers.
3. With chat and text messaging bc or b/c is chant slang for "because."
4. With hexadecimal "BC" or "0xBC" is the decimal equivalent of 188.
