Hi guys...
I am working on limited basic set of maths routines for ksh93 that can be sourced as . ./ksh_math.sh and I am gobsmacked by its capabilities.
Although some big guns may already know this, I didn't, and ksh93 is easily able to do floating point numbers to floating point powers and floating point roots.
WWOOWW!!
It is so simple to get the floating point NTH root of a floating point number, within limits of ksh93's floating point precision and rounding capabilities.
I started it earlier today and this is how far I have gotten:
Results so far on OSX 10.13.6, default bash terminal calling ksh from the script:
Will be working on basic TRIG functions next.
Enjoy...
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)
Hello,
i have some variables say:
x=1.4

I wish to round off these values to :
x = 2 (after rounding off)
y = 4 (after rounding off)
I am stuck.
Please help. (7 Replies)
Hi,
I am compiling "HelloWorld" C progam on 32-bit CentOS and i want to execute it on 64-bit CentOS architecture.
For that i copied the a.out file from 32-bit to 64-bit machine, but while executing a.out file on 64bit machine I am getting "Floating point exception error".
But we can run... (3 Replies)
Hi,
Could any one tell me how to compare to floating point no. using test command. As -eq option works on only intergers.
i=5.4
if
then
echo "equal"
else
echo "not equal"
fi
here output will be equal even though no. are unequal.
Thanks,

I am writing a script in zsh shell, it fetchs a number from a file using the awk command, store it as a variable, which in my case is a small number 0.62000. I want to change this number by multiplying it by 1000 to become 620.0 using the command in the script

Hi,
I wish to compare the CPU LOAD 1 min with 5mins and 15mins.
If 1 min's CPU LOAd spike 3% compare to 5 mins or 15 mins CPU Load, it is warning.
If 1 min's CPU LOAd spike 5% compare to 5 mins or 15 mins CPU Load, it is critical.
However I received following code error, I google it and... (10 Replies)

shift
shift(1) User Commands shift(1)NAME
shift - shell built-in function to traverse either a shell's argument list or a list of field-separated words
SYNOPSIS
sh
shift [n]
csh
shift [variable]
ksh
*shift [n]
ksh
+shift [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
The positional parameters from $n+1 ... are renamed $1 ... . If n is not specified, it is assumed to be 1.
csh
The components of argv, or variable, if supplied, are shifted to the left, discarding the first component. It is an error for the variable
not to be set or to have a null value.
ksh
The positional parameters from $n+1 $n+1 ... are renamed $1 ..., default n is 1. The parameter n can be any arithmetic expression that
evaluates to a non-negative number less than or equal to $#.
On this manual page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a
variable assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name genera-
tion are not performed.
ksh93
shift is a shell special built-in that shifts the positional parameters to the left by the number of places defined by n, or 1 if n is
omitted. The number of positional parameters remaining is reduced by the number of places that are shifted.
If n is specified, it is evaluated as an arithmetic expression to determine the number of places to shift. It is an error to shift more
than the number of positional parameters or a negative number of places.
The following exit values are returned by shift in ksh93:
0 Successful completion. The positional parameters were successfully shifted.
>0 An error occurred.
On this manual page, ksh93(1) commands that are preceded by one or two + are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. They are not valid function names.
5. Words, following a command preceded by ++ that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a
variable assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and field splitting and file name genera-
tion are not performed.
