root square / two solutions - one variable
 

Hello,

I have two questions :) :

1)
I put the square in a variable x
when it gets solved it echos the result x=-1+1 for example

How can I make it show them in two different variables ?

2)
I make it solve a simple equation with random numbers.
Most of times the result is decimal but it shows it as an integer.
How to make that variable to hold decimals too ? I guess It's very simple but I couldn't find it in some manuals I have.

Thanks alot for your help!
Have a nice day,

can you post your code or make it clearer what your trying to do

Re: root square / two solutions - one variable
 

Use double instead of int.

2)It's bash scripting.... I can use double ?

1) I mean a sqrt(4) gives two results. -2+2 . The result get's in one variable. I want each in a variable not both in one

Thanks

Could somebody help please ?

Try this (where $SQRT is the complete variable)
one=`echo $SQRT | cut -d"+" -f 1`
two=`echo $SQRT | cut -d"+" -f 2`
