linux shell math operators code example

Example 1: arithmetic operation in bash

#!/bin/bash
x=5
y=10
ans=$(( x + y ))
echo "$x + $y = $ans"

Example 2: how to perform mathematical operations in shell script

#!/bin/sh

a=10
b=20

val=`expr $a + $b`
echo "a + b : $val"

val=`expr $a - $b`
echo "a - b : $val"

val=`expr $a \* $b`
echo "a * b : $val"

val=`expr $b / $a`
echo "b / a : $val"

val=`expr $b % $a`
echo "b % a : $val"

if [ $a == $b ]
then
   echo "a is equal to b"
fi

if [ $a != $b ]
then
   echo "a is not equal to b"
fi
