# Chet Ramey apparently snuck a bunch of undocumented C-style constructs
|
|
#+ into Bash (actually adapted from ksh, pretty much).
|
|
# In the Bash docs, Ramey calls ((...)) shell arithmetic,
|
|
#+ but it goes far beyond that.
|
|
# Sorry, Chet, the secret is now out.
|
|
|
|
# See also "for" and "while" loops using the ((...)) construct.
|
|
|
|
# These work only with Bash, version 2.04 or later.
