I want to store the value of 2^500 in the variable DELTA.I'm doing export DELTA=$(echo scale=2; 2^500 | bc)but this does not set DELTA to 3273390607896141870013189696827599152216642046043064789483291368096133796404674554883270092325904157150886684127560071009217256545885393053328527589376. Instead, it sets it to 32733906078961418700131896968275991522166420460430647894832913680961\33796404674554883270092325904157150886684127560071009217256545885393\053328527589376I tried the answers in this question (3 years old), using export DELTA=$(echo scale=2; 2^500 | bc | tr '\n' ' ') or export DELTA=$(echo scale=2; print 2^500 | bc | tr '\n' ' ')but none of them work for setting the variable, only to echo it. Any idea?

bash;bc
echo scale=2; 2^500 | bc | tr -d '\n\\'Output:3273390607896141870013189696827599152216642046043064789483291368096133796404674554883270092325904157150886684127560071009217256545885393053328527589376
