How display the output of calculation in decimal point using bc command
really appreciate if you can help me on this:
I want to do simple coding by storing the output calculation in variable and display the result in decimal point using command bc. But it only works on for minus calculation not for division calculation.
numberTotalX=$(echo "$varnameY - $var1" | bc)
the result is:
Number.total.x is 7443.576
but when it come to this command:
numberSplitInteger=$(echo "$numberTotalX / $var2" | bc)
the result is normal integer not in decimal point
Number of split integer is 2461
Thanks for the help
