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 with Mathematics scripts:
Script 1: Additions
Create a file “Addition.sh” and chmod 755 to the script as described in previous post and run it.
#!/bin/bash echo “Enter the First Number: ” read a echo “Enter the Second Number: ” read b x=$(expr "$a" + "$b") echo $a + $b = $x
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Additions.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Additions.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Additions.sh “Enter the First Number: ” 12 “Enter the Second Number: ” 13 12 + 13 = 25
Download Additions.sh
Script 2: Substraction
#!/bin/bash echo “Enter the First Number: ” read a echo “Enter the Second Number: ” read b x=$(($a - $b)) echo $a - $b = $x
Note: Here we replaced the expr and let the mathematical calculation be performed in shell.
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Substraction.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Substraction.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Substraction.sh “Enter the First Number: ” 13 “Enter the Second Number: ” 20 13 - 20 = -7
Download Substraction.sh
Script 3: Multiplication
So far you would be enjoying a lot, learning scripts in such an easy way, so the next in chronological order is Multiplication.
#!/bin/bash echo “Enter the First Number: ” read a echo “Enter the Second Number: ” read b echo "$a * $b = $(expr $a \* $b)"
Note: Yup! Here we didn’t put the value of multiplication in a variable but performed it directly in output statement.
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Multiplication.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Multiplication.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Multiplication.sh “Enter the First Number: ” 11 “Enter the Second Number: ” 11 11 * 11 = 121
Download Multiplication.sh
Script 4: Division
Right! Next is Division, and again it is a very simple script. Check it Yourself.
#!/bin/bash echo “Enter the First Number: ” read a echo “Enter the Second Number: ” read b echo "$a / $b = $(expr $a / $b)"
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Division.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Division.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Division.sh “Enter the First Number: ” 12 “Enter the Second Number: ” 3 12 / 3 = 4
Download Division.sh
Script 5: Table
Fine! What after these basic mathematical operation. Lets write a script that prints table of any number.
#!/bin/bash echo “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 $table done
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Table.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Table.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Table.sh “Enter The Number upto which you want to Print Table: ” 29 58 87 116 145 174 203 232 261 290
Download Table.sh
Script 6: EvenOdd
We as a child always have carried out calculation to find if the number is odd or even. Won’t it be a good idea to implement it in script.
#!/bin/bash echo "Enter The Number" read n num=$(expr $n % 2) if [ $num -eq 0 ] then echo "is a Even Number" else echo "is a Odd Number" fi
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi EvenOdd.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 EvenOdd.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./EvenOdd.sh Enter The Number 12 is a Even Number
[[email protected] ~]# ./EvenOdd.sh Enter The Number 11 is a Odd Number
Download EvenOdd.sh
Script 7: Factorial
Next is to find the Factorial.
#!/bin/bash echo "Enter The Number" read a fact=1 while [ $a -ne 0 ] do fact=$(expr $fact \* $a) a=$(expr $a - 1) done echo $fact
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Factorial.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Factorial.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Factorial.sh Enter The Number 12 479001600
You may now relax with a feeling that calculating 12*11*10*9*7*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 would be more difficult than a simple script as produced above. Think of the situation where you require to find 99! or something like that. Sure! This script will be very much handy in that situation.
Download Factorial.sh
Script 8: Armstrong
Armstrong Number! Ohhh You forget what an Armstrong Number is. Well an Armstrong number of three digits is an integer such that the sum of the cubes of its digits is equal to the number itself. For example, 371 is an Armstrong number since 3**3 + 7**3 + 1**3 = 371.
#!/bin/bash echo "Enter A Number" read n arm=0 temp=$n while [ $n -ne 0 ] do r=$(expr $n % 10) arm=$(expr $arm + $r \* $r \* $r) n=$(expr $n / 10) done echo $arm if [ $arm -eq $temp ] then echo "Armstrong" else echo "Not Armstrong" fi
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Armstrong.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Armstrong.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Armstrong.sh Enter A Number 371 371 Armstrong
[[email protected] ~]# ./Armstrong.sh Enter A Number 123 36 Not Armstrong
Download Armstrong.sh
Script 9: Prime
The last script is to distinguish whether a number is prime or not.
#!/bin/bash echo “Enter Any Number” read n i=1 c=1 while [ $i -le $n ] do i=$(expr $i + 1) r=$(expr $n % $i) if [ $r -eq 0 ] then c=$(expr $c + 1) fi done if [ $c -eq 2 ] then echo “Prime” else echo “Not Prime” fi
Sample Output
[[email protected] ~]# vi Prime.sh [[email protected] ~]# chmod 755 Prime.sh [[email protected] ~]# ./Prime.sh “Enter Any Number” 12 “Not Prime”
Download Prime.sh
