This is for a program I have to do to calculate the day of the week.
I need to write an if statement that will do the following:
if day is 29 and year is odd, don't calculate dayif ( day == 29 && year == ??? )I know how to do it for the day but I don't know how to do it for the year. (4 Replies)
I am kind of new in Unix and i have to make a menu. I want to put an if statement in the menu. you should enter the filename and it goes to that file. How do i do this? (1 Reply)
Good morning all!
I want to know if Im interpreting this if statement below right.
if(((1) || (0)) && (1)){
do stuff;
}
This is saying: if true piped into false, then true, then do stuff. Right?
What does the && stand for?
thanks in advance!

I am writing a script that does a search for a argument in a file and lists all like occurrences. The script verifies that it is a file and then runs another script that list the lines.

Hi
I am very new to Unix programming and shell scripting. I am trying t figure out how to write a little script that will output the number of directories. I can find the number of directories using ls -l | grep "^d" | wc -l I can not figure out how to do it so when I type the name... (8 Replies)
Hi guys,
Two problems I need solving please. I created a script where the user types in 7 numbers as standard input and each one is then stored in an array. Now I need to perform the following calculations on those numbers:
1) Use a while loop to determine the largest number in the range.

I came across a bash script that outputs the forecast for the day and the max temperature but at the end of the day the max temperature disappears ($6) and I am left with "°C" after the forecast.

bc
BC(1) General Commands Manual BC(1)NAME
bc - arbitrary-precision arithmetic language
SYNOPSIS
bc [ -c ] [ -l ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Bc is an interactive processor for a language that resembles C but provides arithmetic on numbers of arbitrary length with up to 100 digits
right of the decimal point. It takes input from any files given, then reads the standard input. The -l argument stands for the name of an
arbitrary precision math library. The following syntax for bc programs is like that of C; L means letter a-z, E means expression, S means
statement.
Lexical
comments are enclosed in /* */
newlines end statements
Names
simple variables: L
array elements: L[E]
The words ibase, obase, and scale
Other operands
arbitrarily long numbers with optional sign and decimal point.
(E)
sqrt(E)
length(E)
number of significant decimal digits
scale(E)
number of digits right of decimal point
L(E,...,E)
function call
Operators
+ - * / % ^ (% is remainder; ^ is power)
++ --
== <= >= != < >
= += -= *= /= %= ^=
Statements
E
{ S ; ... ; S }
print E
if ( E ) S
while ( E ) S
for ( E ; E ; E ) S
null statement
break
quit
"text"
Function definitions
define L ( L , ... , L ){
auto L , ... , L
S ; ... ; S
return E
}
Functions in
-l math library
s(x) sine
c(x) cosine
e(x) exponential
l(x) log
a(x) arctangent
j(n, x)
Bessel function
All function arguments are passed by value.
The value of an expression at the top level is printed unless the main operator is an assignment. Text in quotes, which may include new-
lines, is also printed. Either semicolons or newlines may separate statements. Assignment to scale influences the number of digits to be
retained on arithmetic operations in the manner of dc(1). Assignments to ibase or obase set the input and output number radix respec-
tively.
The same letter may be used as an array, a function, and a simple variable simultaneously. All variables are global to the program. Auto-
matic variables are pushed down during function calls. In a declaration of an array as a function argument or automatic variable empty
square brackets must follow the array name.
Bc is actually a preprocessor for dc(1), which it invokes automatically, unless the -c (compile only) option is present. In this case the
dc input is sent to the standard output instead.
EXAMPLE
Define a function to compute an approximate value of the exponential. Use it to print 10 values. (The exponential function in the library
gives better answers.)
scale = 20
define e(x) {
auto a, b, c, i, s
a = 1
b = 1
s = 1
for(i=1; 1; i++) {
a *= x
b *= i
c = a/b
if(c == 0) return s
s += c
}
}
for(i=1; i<=10; i++) print e(i)
