对于那些试图用公认的答案计算百分比，但失去精度的人:

如果你运行这个:

echo "scale=2; (100/180) * 180" | bc

你只能得到99.00，这就失去了精确度。

如果你这样运行:

echo "result = (100/180) * 180; scale=2; result / 1" | bc -l

现在你得到99.99。

因为你只在打印的时候缩放。

bash

正如其他人指出的那样，bash不支持浮点运算，尽管您可以使用一些固定的小数技巧来伪造它，例如使用两个小数:

echo $(( 100 * 1 / 3 )) | sed -e 's/..$/.&/;t' -e 's/.$/.0&/'

输出:

.33

There are scenarios in wich you cannot use bc becouse it might simply not be present, like in some cut down versions of busybox or embedded systems. In any case limiting outer dependencies is always a good thing to do so you can always add zeroes to the number being divided by (numerator), that is the same as multiplying by a power of 10 (you should choose a power of 10 according to the precision you need), that will make the division output an integer number. Once you have that integer treat it as a string and position the decimal point (moving it from right to left) a number of times equal to the power of ten you multiplied the numerator by. This is a simple way of obtaining float results by using only integer numbers.

虽然在Bash中不能使用浮点除法，但可以使用定点除法。你所要做的就是把整数乘以10的次方，然后把整数部分除掉，用取模运算得到小数部分。根据需要舍入。

#!/bin/bash

n=$1
d=$2

# because of rounding this should be 10^{i+1}
# where i is the number of decimal digits wanted
i=4
P=$((10**(i+1)))
Pn=$(($P / 10))
# here we 'fix' the decimal place, divide and round tward zero
t=$(($n * $P / $d + ($n < 0 ? -5 : 5)))
# then we print the number by dividing off the interger part and
# using the modulo operator (after removing the rounding digit) to get the factional part.
printf "%d.%0${i}d\n" $(($t / $P)) $(((t < 0 ? -t : t) / 10 % $Pn))

如何在bash中进行浮点计算:

不同于在bc命令中使用"here strings"(<<<)，这是我最喜欢的bc浮点示例，来自bc手册页的示例部分(参见man bc手册页)。

在我们开始之前，知道pi的方程是:pi = 4*atan(1)。下面的A()是atan()的BC数学函数。

This is how to store the result of a floating point calculation into a bash variable--in this case into a variable called pi. Note that scale=10 sets the number of decimal digits of precision to 10 in this case. Any decimal digits after this place are truncated. pi=$(echo "scale=10; 4*a(1)" | bc -l) Now, to have a single line of code that also prints out the value of this variable, simply add the echo command to the end as a follow-up command, as follows. Note the truncation at 10 decimal places, as commanded: pi=$(echo "scale=10; 4*a(1)" | bc -l); echo $pi 3.1415926532 Finally, let's throw in some rounding. Here we will use the printf function to round to 4 decimal places. Note that the 3.14159... rounds now to 3.1416. Since we are rounding, we no longer need to use scale=10 to truncate to 10 decimal places, so we'll just remove that part. Here's the end solution: pi=$(printf %.4f $(echo "4*a(1)" | bc -l)); echo $pi 3.1416

下面是上述技术的另一个非常棒的应用程序和演示:测量和打印运行时。

(参见我的另一个答案)。

注意，dt_min从0.01666666666…0.017:

start=$SECONDS; sleep 1; end=$SECONDS; dt_sec=$(( end - start )); dt_min=$(printf %.3f $(echo "$dt_sec/60" | bc -l)); echo "dt_sec = $dt_sec; dt_min = $dt_min"
dt_sec = 1; dt_min = 0.017
