bash - I'm having trouble performing arithmetic expressions in UNIX -
i have following script:
#!/bin/sh r=3 r=$((r+5)) echo r
however, error:
syntax error @ line 3: $ unexpected.
i don't understand i'm doing wrong. i'm following online guide letter http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/06/arithmetic-operations-in-unix-scripts/
this sounds fine if you're using bash
, $((r+5))
might not supported if you're using shell. /bin/sh
point to? have considered replacing /bin/bash
if it's available?
