Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

Please help for the following scenario:
1. Shell Scipt should receive 2 variables values (say a and b).
2. Within shell script, there should be division of those numbers (a/b).
3. The result should be whole number i.e. in case the result comes out to be 9.4, it should be returned as 10.

What i have done is:
a=9
b=4
result=`echo $a $b | awk '{print $1/$2}'`
echo $result

But values of a and b should be passed as parameters to the script.

Kindly help.

It sounds like 'bc' would be the command to use here. By default it even rounds to whole numbers.
As for passing the values into the script, just refer to them as $1 and $2 I believe.

Code:

use 
a=$1
b=$2

Code:

nawk -v a="$1" -v b="$2" '{ printf("%d\n", a/b+0.9)}'
