In reply to Ritesh Kumar Gupta. This way work on bash and zsh.

❯ echo $((3+4*7+4/2))

on zsh you can also use.

❯ print $((3+4*7+4/2))

Sorry last example works for pyton3, not python.

therefore

python3
27**(1/3)
^d

and i.e.. (for python)

python
27**(1/3)
^d

I prefer:

python
1+2
3*(7%2)-1
2**8
7//3
etc.
