I try to get the absolute value of a floating number but i could not until now. I am using bash script btw.lets say A is a floating number:A=-0.125
Code:
absA=$(echo '$A' | nawk '{print ($1>=0)? $1:0-$1}')
the above code gives absA=0, whereas

View 4 Replies View RelatedI know it is wrong to use the "==" operator to compare the equality of two floating point numbers. Logically it would seem that if the "==" operator is not usable for floating point comparison, then the "<=" operator would also not be usable. Is this true? The lack of google search results on this topic made me think that it must be true. If that is true, then is it true that the only way to compare floats with <= or >= is with something like the code below? Code: bool smaller_than_or_equal(float a, float b) {
if ( fabs(a-b) < EPSILON){return true;}
else if (a < b) {return true;}
else {return false;}
} I think this is a general question, but if specifics are necessary, I am using the C++ language to code at the moment.
I'm reading a book on assembly, and it talks a bit about the IEEE floating point format.
Quote:
To summarize, the following steps are used to convert a decimal number to IEEE single format: 1. The leading bit of the floating point format is 0 for a positive number and 1 for a negative number. 2. Write the unsigned number in binary. 3. Write the binary number in binary scientific notation f23.f22 ... f0 2^e, where f23 = 1. There are 24 fraction bits, but it is not necessary to write trailing 0's. 4. Add a bias of 127 to the exponent e. This sum, in binary form, is the next 8 bits of the answer, following the sign bit. (Adding a bias is an alternative to storing the exponent as a signed number.) 5. The fraction bits f22f21 ... f0 form the last 23 bits of the floating point number. The leading bit f23 (which is always 1) is dropped.

I have tried to learn how 64bit asm (nasm in my case) works and found, among the many disparate pieces of info on the net, a few vague inferences that floating point registers can be used for other purposes than what they are intended for, example: "64-bit Linux allows up to fourteen parameters to be transferred in registers (6 integer and 8 floating point)." This would be fantastic for string operations/manipulation (I have never used asm for floating-point operations), can anyone shed a bit of light?

The line to be searched looks like as below. "Output Rows [1], Affected Rows [1], Applied Rows [1], Rejected Rows [0]"
Here I have to search whether the affected rows is 0. But the code below picks up other values also (lie 10, 20.. etc). How do we write to get an exact match for 0? Code: affected=`echo ${line} | cut -f6 -d" " `
affectedcount='echo ${affected} |grep 0 ` 2) Also, I need to check whether the rejected rows > 0
Code: rejected=`echo ${line} | cut -f12 -d" " `
rejectedcount='echo {rejected} |grep [1-9]`

I've created (as a homework) to create as many folders as told but I still need to check if the variable is a number or not :

how do I check that nmbr is a number or something else?
I'm having a hard time trying to get the number of digits in a uint64_t variable. The reason I'm using this is I want to make sure I get x amount of digits inside of a variable before I use it, but since the higher the digits, the better the program is.I currently use the following code, and it works, but my loop will never exit because the length is always 0:
Code:
/**
* numbdigits()
* number: The number to evaluate [in]
*
* Returns the number of digits found in a number.
[code]....
getrand() returns a uint64_t as well (and works). The only way the while() loop ends without my intervention is if I do curd += numdigits(val) instead...but, that gives a false value as well.
I have a char*[] array:
Code:
char* myarray[] = {"Hello", "there!", "LQ"};
and I wish to use/ write a function to find the number of elements in myarray (in this case, its 3).

How do I achieve it?
I have a text file that contains the following string of numbers and letters:
Code:
Mean track length: 3.45 +/- 1.23 mm
or
Code:
Mean track length: 22.45 +/- 12.23 mm
In the first example, I would like to grab only 3.45 and write it into a new file. Then I would like to grab only 1.23 and write it into another file.
I have 80,000 files to do and those numbers can be different every time.
I want to be able to run a piece of AWK code on a record specified by number, not by a regex.
