I'm learning shell scripting using bash and I want to generate 4 floating point number with 5 decimal places and write them to a file and a variable. I've done all this except the $RAMDOM enviroment variable does not generate a float number but a integrer.
I hope you could explain why to lead me to a solution.
Thnak you all in advance.
how to add 2 float values to each other?
i tried this and it doesnt work:
#!bin/bash
numone=1.234
numtwo=0.124
total=`expr $numone + $numtwo`
echo $total

Hello All,
I want to make a simple script which generate random number from 0 to 1000.
and simply display it.
Plz HELP!!!!!!

Hi, i have a simple control like this:
if(sum>1.0)...
If i try to print sum i get 1.000000 but the check returns true. I think it depends on float precision. How can i modify the check?

Hi,
I am having trouble with generating random numbers. can this be done with awk?
So I have a file that looks like this:
23 30
24 40
26 34
So column1 is start and column2 is end. I want to generate 3 random #'s between start and stop:
So the output will look like this:

I am using bash
I have a script that takes a number, i.e. 85.152, which is always a non integer and essentially tries to get that number to be a multiple of 10. My code is as follows:
number=85.152
A=${number%.*} #Converts float to integer

Description
Auxiliary entries are unions with a fixed length of four bytes per entry. Much information is packed within the auxiliaries. Rather than
have the compiler front-ends handle each type of auxiliary entry directly, the following set of routines provide a high-level scalar inter-
face to the auxiliaries:
st_auxbtadd Adds a type information record (TIR) to the auxiliaries. It sets the basic type (bt) to the argument and all other
fields to zero. The index to this auxiliary entry is returned.
st_auxbtsize Sets the bit in the TIR, pointed to by the iaux argument. This argument says the basic type is a bit field and adds an
auxiliary with its width in bits.
st_auxisymadd Adds an index into the symbol table (or any other scalar) to the auxiliaries. It sets the value to the argument that
will occupy all four bytes. The index to this auxiliary entry is returned.
st_auxrndxadd Adds a relative index, RNDXR, to the auxiliaries. It sets the rfd and index to their respective arguments. The index
to this auxiliary entry is returned.
st_auxrndxadd_idn Works the same as st_auxrndxadd except that RNDXR is referenced by an index into the dense number table.
st_iaux_copyty Copies the type from the specified file (ifd) for the specified symbol into the auxiliary table for the current file.
It returns the index to the new aux.
st_shifttq Shifts in the specified type qualifier, tq (see sym.h), into the auxiliary entry TIR, which is specified by the `iaux'
index into the current file. The current type qualifiers shift up one tq so that the first tq (tq0) is free for the new
entry.
st_addtq Adds a type qualifier in the highest or most significant non-tqNil type qualifier.
st_tqhigh_iaux Returns the most significant type qualifier given an index into the files aux table.
st_changeaux Changes the iauxth aux in the current file's auxiliary table to aux.
st_changeauxrndx Converts the relative index (RNDXR) auxiliary, which is specified by iaux, to the specified arguments.
