If you are on Solaris, you are probably using a custom version of ksh88. In this case you will have to use the bc utility to perform floating point arithmetic.

Same operation in Bash gives me correct result in my terminal. So there is something with my c shell that is causing this behaviour.... (8 Replies)

logb(3M) logb(3M)
NAME
logb(), logbf(), logbl(), logbw(), logbq() - radix-independent exponent functions
SYNOPSIS
HP Integrity Server Only
DESCRIPTION
The function computes the exponent of the floating point value x. Formally, the return value is the integral part of log base r of |x| as
a signed floating point value, for nonzero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic. The radix r is 2 on HP-UX
systems.
If x is denormal, it is treated as though it were normalized, before the exponent is determined.
Integrity Server Only
is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.

is equivalent to on HP-UX systems.
USAGE
To use these functions, compile either with the default option or with the and options.
To use (for Integrity servers) or compile also with
Make sure your program includes Link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line. For more information, see
the at the following site:
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, returns the exponent of x.
If x is NaN, returns NaN.
If x returns +INFINITY.
If x is zero, returns (equal to -INFINITY) and raises the divide-by-zero floating-point exception.
ERRORS
If x is zero, sets to [EDOM].
Integrity Server Only
HP-UX functions on Integrity servers do not set by default. For setting, compile with the option.
