Hi,

try

SUM=0; for i in `seq 0 10`; do SUM=`echo "$SUM+$i"|bc`; echo -n $SUM ;done

here is the o/p...

0 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55

hi luggers,

i'm having a problem with the following code...

--snip--

for i in `seq 0 10`; do SUM=`echo $SUM+${ARR[$i]}|bc` done

--snip--

error says : (standard_in) 1: parse error

although the segment

echo $SUM+${ARR[$i]}|bc

works fine outside the for loop. any hints on why and how i can avoid it.

thanks, parvez
