Bash floor round.

Round floor behavior hello my round and floor functions in c program behaves weird. In mathematics and computer science the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to denoted or similarly the ceiling function maps to the least integer greater than or equal to denoted or. For example and while. Hey everyone i was wondering if i am able to write a sed command to round a number to two decimal places.

You can calculate a floating point precision percentage in bash using the printf method and arithmetic expansion or you can calculate a rounded integer percentage using arithmetic expansion with the notation. 1 58674 would be 1 58 i just want to chop off the numbers to the right of the second digit after the period. For example round 0 5 is 1 0 and round 0 5 is 1 0. These functions return the rounded integer value.

The round up approach leverages the shell behavior to round toward zero 0. Fprintf fp round test variable 11686776 000000 d n round 11686776 000000. These functions round x to the nearest integer but round halfway cases away from zero regardless of the current rounding direction see fenv 3 instead of to the nearest even integer like rint 3. External commands like bc or awk or perl can be used to round numbers as needed.

So there is no built in function for rounding up or down floating point numbers. Bash only evaluates expressions with non floating point numbers. Thus floor 1 5 is 1 0and floor 1 5 is 2 0.
