In this post I will be discussing the Scripts from the Mathematical and Number point of view. Although I have posted a more complex script (Simple Calculator) in the previous post, but on a user part it was difficult to understand and hence I thought to make you people learn the other useful side of learning in small packets.
Prior to this article, three article of Shell Scripting Series are published and they are:
- Understand Linux Shell and Basic Shell Scripting – Part I
- 5 Shell Scripts to Learn Shell Programming – Part II
- Sailing Through The World of Linux BASH Scripting – Part III
Let’s start the further learning process with some new exciting scripts, start withMathematics scripts:
Script 1: Additions
Create a file “Addition.sh” and chmod 755 to the script as described in previous post and run it.
#!/bin/bashecho “Enter the First Number: ”read ater the Second Number: ” read becho “E n x=$(expr "$a" + "$b") echo $a + $b = $x
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Additions.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Additions.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Additions.shnter the Second Number: ”“Enter the First Number: ” 12 “ E1313 = 2512 +
Script 2: Substraction
#!/bin/bashecho “Enter the First Number: ”read ater the Second Number: ” read becho “E n x=$(($a - $b)) echo $a - $b = $x
Note: Here we replaced the expr and let the mathematical calculation be performed in shell.
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Substraction.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Substraction.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Substraction.shr the Second Number: ” 20“Enter the First Number: ” 13 “Ent e- 20 = -71 3
Script 3: Multiplication
So far you would be enjoying a lot, learning scripts in such an easy way, so the next in chronological order is Multiplication.
#!/bin/bashecho “Enter the First Number: ”read ater the Second Number: ” read becho “E nho "$a * $b = $(expr $a \* $b)"e c
Note: Yup! Here we didn’t put the value of multiplication in a variable but performed it directly in output statement.
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Multiplication.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Multiplication.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Multiplication.shthe Second Number: ” 11 1“Enter the First Number: ” 11 “Enter1 * 11 = 121
Script 4: Division
Right! Next is Division, and again it is a very simple script. Check it Yourself.
#!/bin/bashecho “Enter the First Number: ”read ater the Second Number: ” read becho “E nho "$a / $b = $(expr $a / $b)"e c
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Division.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Division.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Division.shEnter the Second Number: ”“Enter the First Number: ” 12 “ 33 = 412 /
Script 5: Table
Fine! What after these basic mathematical operation. Lets write a script that prints table of any number.
#!/bin/bashecho “Enter The Number upto which you want to Print Table: ”read n i=1 while [ $i -ne 10 ] do i=$(expr $i + 1) table=$(expr $i \* $n) echo $table done
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Table.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Table.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Table.shou want to Print Table: ” 29 58 87 116 145 174 20“Enter The Number upto which y3 232 261 290
Script 6: EvenOdd
We as a child always have carried out calculation to find if the number is odd or even. Won’t it be a good idea to implement it in script.
#!/bin/bashecho "Enter The Number"read npr $n % 2) if [ $nnum=$(e xum -eq 0 ] thenber" else echo "is a Oecho "is a Even Nu mdd Number" fi
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi EvenOdd.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 EvenOdd.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./EvenOdd.shNumberEnter The Number 12 is a Even
[root@tecmint ~]# ./EvenOdd.shEnter The Number 11 is a Odd Number
Script 7: Factorial
Next is to find the Factorial.
#!/bin/bashecho "Enter The Number"read a fact=1] do fact=$(exprwhile [ $a -ne 0 $fact \* $a) a=$(expr $a - 1) donefactecho $
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Factorial.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Factorial.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Factorial.sh Enter The Number 12 479001600
You may now relax with a feeling that calculating 12*11*10*9*7*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 would be more difficult than a simple script as produced above. Think of the situation where you require to find 99! or something like that. Sure! This script will be very much handy in that situation.
Script 8: Armstrong
Armstrong Number! Ohhh You forget what an Armstrong Number is. Well an Armstrong number of three digits is an integer such that the sum of the cubes of its digits is equal to the number itself. For example, 371 is an Armstrong number since 3**3 + 7**3 + 1**3 = 371.
#!/bin/bashecho "Enter A Number"read n arm=0[ $n -netemp=$n while 0 ] do% 10) arm=$(exprr=$(expr $ n $arm + $r \* $r \* $r)cho $arm if [ $arn=$(expr $n / 10) done em -eq $temp ] then echo "Armstrong" else echo "Not Armstrong" fi
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Armstrong.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Armstrong.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Armstrong.shgEnter A Number 371 371 Armstron
[root@tecmint ~]# ./Armstrong.shEnter A Number 123 36 Not Armstrong
Script 9: Prime
The last script is to distinguish whether a number is prime or not.
#!/bin/bashecho “Enter Any Number”read n i=1 c=1$n ] do i=$(expr $iwhile [ $i -le + 1) r=$(expr $n % $i)expr $c + 1) fiif [ $r -eq 0 ] then c=$ ( done if [ $c -eq 2 ] then echo “Prime” else echo “Not Prime” fi
Sample Output
[root@tecmint ~]# vi Prime.sh[root@tecmint ~]# chmod 755 Prime.sh[root@tecmint ~]# ./Prime.shPrime”“Enter Any Number” 12 “Not
