Subject: strange arithmetic
Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 14:09:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19971128140924.07137@retriever> (raw)
(using 3.0.5)
% i=0;while [[ $[++i] < 900 ]];do;echo $i;done
% 1
% 2
[...]
% 90
90 ?? I asked for 900 and it stops at 90. On the other hand the
following:
% i=0;while ! [[ $[++i] = 900 ]];do;echo $i;done
% 1
% 2
[...]
% 899
Is this normal?
