Csh arithmetic not producing the expected value
My original post did not show up properly. I am trying again.
I have a simple tsch script that does some basic arithmetic. The calculated value was not producing the result I was expecting. I wrote a sample script to illustrate the things that I tried.

Code:
#!/bin/tcsh
@ count = 43
@ total_count = 61
@ failing = 4
@ no_finish = 0
echo "Total Count:$total_count  Finished:$count  Failed:$failing  $total_count-$count-$failing"
@ no_finish   = $total_count - $count - $failing 
echo $no_finish
echo "Total Count:$total_count  Finished:$count  Failed:$failing  $total_count-$count-$failing"
@ no_finish  = $total_count - ( $count + $failing )
echo $no_finish
echo "Total Count:$total_count  Finished:$count  Failed:$failing  $total_count-$count-$failing"
@ no_finish  = ( $total_count - $count - $failing )
echo $no_finish
echo "Total Count:$total_count  Finished:$count  Failed:$failing  $total_count-$count-$failing"
@ no_finish  = ( $total_count - $count ) - $failing 
echo $no_finish

script output

Total Count:61 Finished:43 Failed:4 61-43-4
22
Total Count:61 Finished:43 Failed:4 61-43-4
14
Total Count:61 Finished:43 Failed:4 61-43-4
22
Total Count:61 Finished:43 Failed:4 61-43-4
14

let

let(1)								   User Commands							    let(1)

NAME

       let - shell built-in function to evaluate one or more arithmetic expressions

SYNOPSIS

   ksh
       let arg...

   ksh93
       let [expr...]

DESCRIPTION

   ksh
       Each arg is a separate arithmetic expression to be evaluated.

   ksh93
       let  evaluates  each expr in the current shell environment as an arithmetic expression using ANSI C syntax. Variables names are shell vari-
       ables and they are recursively evaluated as arithmetic expressions to get numerical values. let has been made obsolete by the ((...))  syn-
       tax of ksh93(1) which does not require quoting of the operators to pass them as command arguments.

EXIT STATUS

   ksh
       ksh returns the following exit values:

       0    The value of the last expression is non-zero.

       1    The value of the last expression is zero.

   ksh93
       ksh93 returns the following exit values:

       0     The last expr evaluates to a non-zero value.

       >0    The last expr evaluates to 0 or an error occurred.
