Bash #5 - calculating with arithmetic operations & numbers (integers)
In this video we cover doing simple math/calculations in bash using integers (whole numbers) and variables. Variables were covered in the previous video. We use mostly brackets for calculations, due it's simplicity, but you can also use other commands like, let, bc, declare, printf and awk.
