Because Bash (and most other shells) don't know any mathematical operations or functions beyond the basic five (add, sub, mul, div, mod). If you need higher level functions, use bc or a different scripting language like Perl or Python.

This is just a fun project to see if it is possible to get a square root of a positive integer from 1 to 9200000 to 6 decimal places on a 64 bit architecture machine.
It is coded around dash and the results show the values from 0 to 10000.

NAME
Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Number - Helper trait for Num attributes
VERSION
version 2.0603
SYNOPSIS
package Real;
use Moose;
has 'integer' => (
traits => ['Number'],
is => 'ro',
isa => 'Num',
default => 5,
handles => {
set => 'set',
add => 'add',
sub => 'sub',
mul => 'mul',
div => 'div',
mod => 'mod',
abs => 'abs',
},
);
my $real = Real->new();
$real->add(5); # same as $real->integer($real->integer + 5);
$real->sub(2); # same as $real->integer($real->integer - 2);
DESCRIPTION
This trait provides native delegation methods for numbers. All of the operations correspond to arithmetic operations like addition or
multiplication.
DEFAULT TYPE
If you don't provide an "isa" value for your attribute, it will default to "Num".
PROVIDED METHODS
All of these methods modify the attribute's value in place. All methods return the new value.
o add($value)
Adds the current value of the attribute to $value.
o sub($value)
Subtracts $value from the current value of the attribute.
o mul($value)
Multiplies the current value of the attribute by $value.
o div($value)
Divides the current value of the attribute by $value.
o mod($value)
Returns the current value of the attribute modulo $value.
o abs
Sets the current value of the attribute to its absolute value.
