command 'let'

Jannik — Mon, 05 Jul 2004 10:01:43 GMT

The command let don't work with large numbers, is there another command for large numbers.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
ADD=0

for i in $(vxprint -Aht | grep 'v ' | awk '{print $6}')
do
let ADD=$i+$ADD
echo $ADD
done

Try this:
ADD=$(( $i + $ADD))

Try it with awk

TOTAL=`$(vxprint -Aht | grep 'v ' | awk '{print $6}') | awk 'BEGIN {tot=0} $2 == "total" {tot=tot+$1} END`

Or something like that - don't have vx on my servers so I can't test it...

But I do something like this:

ttldisk=`df -t -l | awk 'BEGIN {tot=0} $2 == "total" {tot=tot+$1} END {print (tot*512)/1024/1024/1024}'`

Try this one:
argus:/# typeset -i T
argus:/# typeset -i P
argus:/# T=2125725696
argus:/# echo $T
2125725696
argus:/# P=-1477181440
argus:/# echo $P
-1477181440
argus:/# T=$T+$P; echo $T

Hi Jannik,

try the following (for example):

A=2457886
B=7756737
C=0
for i in A,B
do
C=`echo $A + $B|bc`
done
echo $C

The "bc" command should do the trick

All the shells have limited math capability. Integer only and 32 bit numbers. As mentioned, awk and bc are the workarounds for extended math. They have lots of functions available too.

64 bit integers should be supported in the latest ksh but not the Posix shell.
