echo
echo ((zz=$ee+$ff+$aa)) echo $zz <==Problem==> ee= 12.5 ff = 20.6 aa = 10.5 The ouput of zz should be 43.6 BUT i am getting 42. So it means anything after the comma is not counted. Please help. |

Well, the shell does not support anything except integer arithmetic. In your case, all the numbers are getting rounded down, so your answer is 42. Try using bc for this: Code:
echo "scale=1; $aa+$ee+$ff"|bc |
