but
1.2356 will become 1.24 .
Similarly

I had a person bring an interesting problem to me that appears to involve some sort of rounding inside awk. I've verified this with awk and nawk on Solaris as well as with gawk 3.1.5 on a Linux box.
The original code fragment he brought me was thus:
for (index=0; index < 1; index=index+.1)

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,

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.

Commands: cc(1).
