Hello, I have a file, and one column has both positive and negative numbers. Does anyone know how I can calculate the total of all the values (i.e, +ve and -ve).
eg:
col1 col2 col3
data 23 data
data 76 data
data -30 data
Thanks

Hi this is quite a simple question... I am new to LINUX/UNIX and so I am just trying to create a very basic program. The idea is that when the user runs the program (from the shell) they enter 3 values and the program will add them up:
"./sum 23 5 1
29"
my code for this program is as follows:

Hi All,
I have written the below to add the numbers in a column. Postive numbers are unsigned and negative numbers are signed in the file. After the below cmd I am getting -0.00 , instead of 0.00. Can someone guide me on what I am missing in the cmd.

Hey folks,
not sure whether this or the security board is the right forum. If I failed, please move :)
So here's the problem:
I need to build a Linux environment in which only "signed" processes are allowed to run. When I say signed I don't mean a VeriSign signature like you know it from... (5 Replies)
Hi
I figured how to add my list of numbers. However how do I count so that after a certain number it lists the line.
Example:
12 test1
46 test2
195 test3
174 test4
634 test5
185 test6
94 test7
So basically add the numbers and when the addition reaches 300 or less
print the... (8 Replies)

Hello. Trying to add a column of numbers and combine the 1st and 2nd fields as uniq with the new total.
This works to add the numbers but can't figure an easy was to combine the 1st and 2nd column as the list is very long. awk '{s+=$3} END {print s}'

Hi again. Sorry for all the questions — I've tried to do all this myself but I'm just not good enough yet, and the help I've received so far from bartus11 has been absolutely invaluable. Hopefully this will be the last bit of file manipulation I need to do.
I have a file which is formatted as... (4 Replies)

div
abs(3) Library Functions Manual abs(3)delim $$NAME
abs, div, labs, ldiv - Computes absolute value and division of integers
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int abs (
int i );
long labs (
long i );
div_t div (
int numerator ,
int denominator);
ldiv_t ldiv (
long numerator,
long denominator);
PARAMETERS
For abs(), specifies some integer. For labs(), specifies some long integer. For div(), specifies some integer. For ldiv(), specifies
some long integer. For div(), specifies some integer. For ldiv(), specifies some long integer.
DESCRIPTION
The abs() function returns the absolute value of its integer operand.
The div() function computes the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator numerator by the denominator denominator. If the
division is inexact, the sign of the resulting quotient is that of the algebraic quotient, and the magnitude of the resulting quotient is
the largest integer less than the magnitude of the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented (for example, if the denominator
is 0), the behavior is undefined. The div() function returns a value of type div_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder.
The labs() and ldiv() functions perform the same functions as abs() and div() respectively, but accept long integers rather than integers
as parameters. The ldiv() function returns a value of type ldiv_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder.
NOTES
The abs(), labs(), div(), and ldiv() functions are supported for multithreaded applications.
A two's-complement integer can hold a negative number whose absolute value is too large for the integer to hold. When given this largest
negative value, the abs() function returns the same value. Full use
RETURN VALUES
The abs() function and labs() function return the absolute value of their arguments.
The div() function returns a value of type div_t and the ldiv() function returns a value of type ldiv_t.
