Different syntax for writing arithmetic expressions in bash shell

#!/bin/bash echo "Enter two numbers" read a b s=`expr $a + $b` echo "Sum1=$s" s=$[$a+$b] echo "sum2=$s" ((s=$a+$b)) echo "sum3=$s" ((s=a+b)) echo "sum3=$s" let s=$a+$b echo "sum4=$s" let s=a+b echo "sum4=$s" Note:bash shell support only integer arithmetic.zsh support operations on real numbers.We can use bc in bash shell to do real arithmetic. Eg: echo "$a*$b"|bc # where a and b are real Mathematical Operators With Integers Operator Description Example Evaluates To + Addition echo $(( 20 + 5 )) 25 - Subtraction echo $(( 20 - 5 )) 15 / Division echo $(( 20 / 5 )) 4 * Multiplication echo $(( 20 * 5 )) 100  % Modulus echo $(( 20 % 3 )) 2 ++ post-increment (add variable value by 1) x=5 echo $(( x++ )) echo $(( x++ )) 5 6 -- post-decrement (subtract variable value by 1) x=5 echo $(( x-- )) 4 ** Exponentiation x=2 y=3 echo $(( x ** y )) 8
