I'm sure DASH can divide and multiply absolutely fine. It has * and /.

And I already assume a "fractional" part of 1000000000 and use "%.9f" to add any zeros to the end.
I noticed, but the way you're doing it is perhaps the hardest possible way. If you just keep your number as an integer, you can calculate it as an integer, because it is an integer. Addition and subtraction work completely straight. Multiplication and division will need correction before and afterwards respectively. And you will have to stay away from the integer limit because the result of multiplying 64-bit MAXINT by 64-bit MAXINT is a 128-bit number.

Anyway, you can use a here-document to feed values into read. There's another, older trick though, which works especially well in functions and should work anywhere.

Code:
DP=3
MOD=1000

function readnum {
        OLDIFS="$IFS"
        IFS="."
                set -- $1 # Set $1, $2, etc, splitting on "."
        IFS="$OLDIFS"

        N=$1
        FRAC=$2

        [ "$N" = "0" ] && N=""

        for((X=0; X<DP; X++))
        do
                D="${FRAC:$X:1}"
                [ -z "$D" ] && D="0"
                N="$N$D" # Prepend digits to N
        done
}

readnum "0.5"

echo "Integer $N is fixed point $((N/MOD)).$((N%MOD))"

NAME
Int32 - 32-bit integers. Module Module Int32 Documentation Module Int32 : sig end 32-bit integers. This module provides operations on the type int32 of signed 32-bit integers. Unlike the built-in int type, the type int32 is guaranteed to be exactly 32-bit wide on all platforms. All arithmetic operations over int32 are taken modulo 2^{32. Performance notice: values of type int32 occupy more memory space than values of type int , and arithmetic operations on int32 are gener- ally slower than those on int . Use int32 only when the application requires exact 32-bit arithmetic. val zero : int32 The 32-bit integer 0. val one : int32 The 32-bit integer 1. val minus_one : int32 The 32-bit integer -1. val neg : int32 -> int32 Unary negation. val add : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Addition. val sub : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Subtraction. val mul : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Multiplication. val div : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Integer division. Raise Division_by_zero if the second argument is zero. This division rounds the real quotient of its arguments towards zero, as specified for Pervasives.(/) . val rem : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Integer remainder. If y is not zero, the result of Int32.rem x y satisfies the following property: x = Int32.add (Int32.mul (Int32.div x y) y) (Int32.rem x y) . If y = 0 , Int32.rem x y raises Division_by_zero . val succ : int32 -> int32 Successor. Int32.succ x is Int32.add x Int32.one . val pred : int32 -> int32 Predecessor. Int32.pred x is Int32.sub x Int32.one . val abs : int32 -> int32 Return the absolute value of its argument. val max_int : int32 The greatest representable 32-bit integer, 2^{31 - 1. val min_int : int32 The smallest representable 32-bit integer, -2^{31. val logand : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Bitwise logical and. val logor : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Bitwise logical or. val logxor : int32 -> int32 -> int32 Bitwise logical exclusive or. val lognot : int32 -> int32 Bitwise logical negation val shift_left : int32 -> int -> int32 Int32.shift_left x y shifts x to the left by y bits. The result is unspecified if y < 0 or y >= 32 . val shift_right : int32 -> int -> int32 Int32.shift_right x y shifts x to the right by y bits. This is an arithmetic shift: the sign bit of x is replicated and inserted in the vacated bits. The result is unspecified if y < 0 or y >= 32 . val shift_right_logical : int32 -> int -> int32 Int32.shift_right_logical x y shifts x to the right by y bits. This is a logical shift: zeroes are inserted in the vacated bits regardless of the sign of x . The result is unspecified if y < 0 or y >= 32 . val of_int : int -> int32 Convert the given integer (type int ) to a 32-bit integer (type int32 ). val to_int : int32 -> int Convert the given 32-bit integer (type int32 ) to an integer (type int ). On 32-bit platforms, the 32-bit integer is taken modulo 2^{31, i.e. the high-order bit is lost during the conversion. On 64-bit platforms, the conversion is exact. val of_float : float -> int32 Convert the given floating-point number to a 32-bit integer, discarding the fractional part (truncate towards 0). The result of the con- version is undefined if, after truncation, the number is outside the range [ Int32.min_int , Int32.max_int ]. val to_float : int32 -> float Convert the given 32-bit integer to a floating-point number. val of_string : string -> int32 Convert the given string to a 32-bit integer. The string is read in decimal (by default) or in hexadecimal, octal or binary if the string begins with 0x , 0o or 0b respectively. Raise Failure int_of_string if the given string is not a valid representation of an integer, or if the integer represented exceeds the range of integers representable in type int32 . val to_string : int32 -> string Return the string representation of its argument, in signed decimal. val bits_of_float : float -> int32 Return the internal representation of the given float according to the IEEE 754 floating-point ``single format'' bit layout. Bit 31 of the result represents the sign of the float; bits 30 to 23 represent the (biased) exponent; bits 22 to 0 represent the mantissa. val float_of_bits : int32 -> float Return the floating-point number whose internal representation, according to the IEEE 754 floating-point ``single format'' bit layout, is the given int32 . type t = int32 An alias for the type of 32-bit integers. val compare : t -> t -> int The comparison function for 32-bit integers, with the same specification as Pervasives.compare . Along with the type t , this function compare allows the module Int32 to be passed as argument to the functors Set.Make and Map.Make . OCamldoc 2014-06-09 Int32(3)
