Shell Arithmetic

Creating Inter Variables

number=123.45  // type : local string
integer counter=12 // type : local integer
typeset -i total=32767
exort total // type : export integer
integer minimum=-2147483648 // type : local integer

Base10 and Others

typeset -i int_num=10    //value string: 10
typeset -i2 bin_num=10  //value string: 2#1010
typeset -i8 oct_num=10  //value string: 8#12
typeset -i16 hex_num=10  //value string: 16#a

Working with Arithmetic

let x=4+5 // ((x=4+5))
let "x= 4 + 5" // (( x = 4 + 5 ))
print $((x=4+5))  --> 9
print $x ---> 9

Binary Operators 

<<   shift bits left   (( 8 << 1 ))  --> 16  // 1000   10000
>>   shift bits right (( 8 >> 1 )) -->  4  //   1000   100
&     bitwise AND  (( a & b )) ---> // 1000 & 0100   = 0000
|       bitwise OR    (( a | b ))  ----> // 1000 & 0110  = 1110  
^     bitwise exclusive OR  (( a^b )) ----> // 1000 & 1110 = 0110
