Does anyone have a simple way of doing floating point ("fp") division? For example, if I divide 3 by 5, I can get 0.6. The built-in calc (`bc`) will perform fp multiplication, but not division, at least not straight-up (i.e., starting bc and just typing in 3/5).
I am trying to do this using... (1 Reply)

Hi all!
Hi all!
I am working with a problem to find the smallest floating point number that can be represented.
I am going in a loop ,stating with an initial value of 1.0 and then diving it by 10 each time thru the loop.
So the first time I am getting o.1 which I wanted.But from the next... (4 Replies)

Hi, guys,
today, I have copied a simple script which runs correctly on a computer to another one. But, the latter informs me:

Dear all,
I have the following question. Let's say that I have the following script
#!/bin/bash
value=0.4987865
a=` printf "%6.2f" $value `
b=`echo $value + $value | bc -l`
echo $a
echo $b
exit
And the exit is:
0,00
.9975730
Thus, the problem is that the printf order does not... (2 Replies)

Heyas
I have a script (vhs - video handler script, using ffmpeg) to encode videos.
It also encodes a dvd, but until now just non-copy-protected ones, so i've tried to add/implement a vobcopy wrapper to be used by my script.
At first it looked quite fine, but when changing from the first VOB... (9 Replies)

Hello,
I have often found bash to be difficult when it comes to floating point numbers. I have data with rows of tab delimited floating point numbers. I need to find the smallest number in each row that is not 0.0. Numbers can be negative and they do not come in any particular order for a given... (9 Replies)

I have the following code snippet in bash

It works well for most of the cases. However lets say diff is -0.17 and minm is -0.0017. In such a case the comparison seems to fail. Is the correct way to compare a mixture of positive and... (12 Replies)

read_rnd
write_rnd(3) Library Functions Manual write_rnd(3)
NAME
write_rnd, read_rnd - Sets and returns IEEE dynamic rounding mode for floating-point operations
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <float.h>
unsigned int write_rnd(
unsigned int rnd);
unsigned int read_rnd();
DESCRIPTION
The write_rnd function sets the dynamic rounding mode in the floating-point control register (fpcr) for IEEE floating-point operations and
returns the previous dynamic rounding mode. Dynamic rounding mode for IEEE floating-point operations is enabled for code generated by the
C compiler by specifying -fprm d to cc(1), and by using the d floating-point instruction operator in assembly language code.
Specify rnd as one of the following constants defined in float.h
---------------------------------------------------
Constant Meaning
---------------------------------------------------
FP_RND_RZ Round toward zero (chopped rounding)
FP_RND_RN Round toward nearest (normal rounding)
FP_RND_RP Round toward plus infinity
FP_RND_RM Round toward minus infinity
---------------------------------------------------
The read_rnd function returns the current dynamic rounding mode for floating-point operations.
RETURN VALUES
The write_rnd function returns the previous IEEE floating-point rounding mode. The read_rnd function returns the current IEEE floating-
point rounding mode.
