Syntax for performing bash simple math calculations
 

Hi all


I saw this somewhere, but can't remember where... What's the correct syntax for performing simple bash math calculations?

For instance, I just want to dive 105 by 7, what should I write?

Did you mean something like echo $((105 / 7)) or are you thinking of using bc ?

Try the bc command. It is a powerful calculator available on the command line.


For example you can do the following:

bc <return>
3+4 <return>
7


For a more extensive documentation try "man bc".
