Shell arithmetic
Up one level
-
The shell allows arithmetic expressions to be evaluated, as one of the shell expansions or by the let built-in.
Evaluation is done in fixed-width integers with no check for overflow, though division by 0 is trapped and flagged as an error. The operators and their precedence and associativity are the same as in the C language, see Chapter 3.
