In integer arithmetic, always do your multiples before your divides.
However with these numbers the answer is always going to be zero because the percentage is so small.
If you need to see the actual value, try the bc command set to say six decimal places:
Note that very few shells can deal with decimal places in numbers.
Hi! Is there is any way to divide the screen when I use UNIX shells (I have RedHat 7.1)? I have to see the command promt and process some data from very long file at the same time (I work with PThreads). Some "pseudo-windows" in text mode, huh? =) Thanks in advance and don't be angry =) (4 Replies)

Hi All,
I have two variables like below..
ETIMEHR =03 #END TIME HOUR
ETIMEMIN=02 #END TIME MIN
Now I'm converting the min to hour by deviding it by 60
ETIMEMINCONV=`echo "scale=2; $ETIMEMIN/60" | bc`
but when i print ETIMEMINCONV instead of getting... (6 Replies)
Hello!
Im trying to divid the numbers inputed by <STDIN> by 2.
This is what I have:
print "The input array divided by 2 is as follows:\n"; foreach ((@userArray)/2) {print}
But it is not dividing by 2?
Any help is valuable!!

Hi,
I do have a very simple task to divide 2 variables and display the result.
I CANNOT use bc
when i try
var1=2
var2=4
var3=$(($var1 / $var2))
echo $var3
the output is always 0
What can I change to get a dotted decimal result such as 0.5 ?
Thanks! (5 Replies)

Does anyone know how to include as a script maybe an "echo" warning that explains that if a user uses the second number "zero" when dividing, that the result will BE "zero."
I need, example: 5/0 (second number) = 0, in script form.
current script:
echo "Enter a number"

quantized64(3M)quantized64(3M)NAME
quantized64(), quantized128(), quantized32() - decimal quantize functions
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The function sets the exponent of x to the exponent of y, while attempting to keep the value the same. If the exponent is being increased,
the value is correctly rounded according to the current (decimal) rounding mode.
is useful for rounding to a specified number of decimal places. For example, will round x to four places to the right of the decimal point
(provided the has enough digits to do so).
is a version of it takes arguments and returns a result.
is a version of it takes arguments and returns a result.
These math functions are supported for HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Update and forward.
USAGE
To use any of these functions, compile with the option.
Make sure your program defines and then includes
Link in the math library by specifying or on the linking command line.
For more information, see the at the following site:
RETURN VALUE
If the exponent of x is being increased and rounding produces a result whose numerical value is different from x, then raises the inexact
exception.
If the exponent of x is being decreased and the of the result has more digits than the type would allow, returns NaN and raises the invalid
exception.
If one or both arguments are NaN, then returns NaN.
Otherwise, if only one argument returns NaN and raises the invalid exception.
If both arguments returns x.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
These functions conform to ISO/IEC TR 24732, "Extension for the programming language C to support decimal floating-point arithmetic".
