arithmetic operations

Bash, or the Bourne Again SHell, is known for its proficient role in managing files, running programs, and controlling processes on Linux-based systems. However, it is its lesser-waged capabilities in handling mathematical computations that are particularly of interest and practical use to full stack web developers and system administrators, especially those expanding their prowess into the realms of artificial intelligence (AI). This guide will delve into the potential of Bash for mathematical computations and elaborate on scenarios where it can be utilized efficiently in AI-driven projects. Bash handles basic arithmetic using built-in commands and supports integer math but lacks direct support for floating-point arithmetic.
