我正在努力比较Bash脚本中的两个浮点数。我有两个变量，例如。
let num1=3.17648e-22
let num2=1.5
现在，我想对这两个数字做一个简单的比较:
st=`echo "$num1 < $num2" | bc`
if [ $st -eq 1]; then
echo -e "$num1 < $num2"
else
echo -e "$num1 >= $num2"
fi
不幸的是，我有一些问题与num1的正确处理可以是“电子格式”。
当前回答
num1=0.555
num2=2.555
if [ `echo "$num1>$num2"|bc` -eq 1 ]; then
echo "$num1 is greater then $num2"
else
echo "$num2 is greater then $num1"
fi
其他回答
支持所有可能的表示法的解决方案，包括大小写指数的科学表示法(例如，12.00e4):
if (( $(bc -l <<< "${value1/e/E} < ${value2/e/E}") ))
then
echo "$value1 is smaller than $value2"
fi
一行程序解决方案
假设有两个变量A和B，
echo "($A > $B) * $B + ($A < $B) * $A" | bc
只需将echo替换为printf(它理解浮点数):
st=$( printf '%50G < %50G\n' "$num1" "$num2" | bc -l )
我使用这里的答案，并把它们放在一个函数中。你可以这样使用它:
is_first_floating_number_bigger 1.5 1.2
result="${__FUNCTION_RETURN}"
一旦被调用，echo $result在这种情况下将为1，否则为0。
功能:
is_first_floating_number_bigger () {
number1="$1"
number2="$2"
[ ${number1%.*} -eq ${number2%.*} ] && [ ${number1#*.} \> ${number2#*.} ] || [ ${number1%.*} -gt ${number2%.*} ];
result=$?
if [ "$result" -eq 0 ]; then result=1; else result=0; fi
__FUNCTION_RETURN="${result}"
}
或者带有调试输出的版本:
is_first_floating_number_bigger () {
number1="$1"
number2="$2"
echo "... is_first_floating_number_bigger: comparing ${number1} with ${number2} (to check if the first one is bigger)"
[ ${number1%.*} -eq ${number2%.*} ] && [ ${number1#*.} \> ${number2#*.} ] || [ ${number1%.*} -gt ${number2%.*} ];
result=$?
if [ "$result" -eq 0 ]; then result=1; else result=0; fi
echo "... is_first_floating_number_bigger: result is: ${result}"
if [ "$result" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "... is_first_floating_number_bigger: ${number1} is not bigger than ${number2}"
else
echo "... is_first_floating_number_bigger: ${number1} is bigger than ${number2}"
fi
__FUNCTION_RETURN="${result}"
}
只需要将函数保存在一个单独的.sh文件中，并像这样包含它:
. /path/to/the/new-file.sh
num1=0.555
num2=2.555
if [ `echo "$num1>$num2"|bc` -eq 1 ]; then
echo "$num1 is greater then $num2"
else
echo "$num2 is greater then $num1"
fi
