Apologies for the delay, I am a carer or babysitter presently for my mother or grandchild and dogs.
However @ Corona688...
Well tested your 'BASH' version with just one edge case and there will be quite a few...
Note with your original, 2.0 - 3.14159 = -1.141, not what is shown.
Then I just did one edge case, I changed '2.0' to '0.073' and...
NOTE: Not related to either your or my versions; I have manually found many edgecases. Python was a godsend for this task.
As I said I have learnt a lot about 'dash' and POSIX. Your 'heredoc' code is wonderful.
As above I have found many edge cases.
Also the strange effects closing the gaps to the + or - limits I have set.
I will be back ASAP but family comes first.

Reason: Correct grammar.
There was a bug in my version above. Arithmetic involving negative numbers worked, the edge case was the display of them. One 'edge' was that I completely forgot to display the sign, at all, ever. Still trying to fix the 0.073 problem.
This edge case works on my version...
I have limited my decimal point to 9 decimal places BUT note the non-zero digits start at the 10th decimal place:
I have certainly discovered that it is more difficult than I expected. There is at least one division edge case that is not straightforwards.
As I stated before python 2.x or 3.x was my friend here...
But yours in 'bash' gives...
I have changed 'AA' and 'BB' to:
There are other edge cases.
Ignoring the divide case as that is an edge case in itself and is different from the one mentioned above.
This is getting more difficult by the version.

Hi C688...
Your mandlebrot probably won't work on the AMIGA, period, as there is no bash for it, only ksh88.
Nevertheless it looks cool.
Off to try it out on this machine...
OSX 10.14.1, default bash terminal.
I'll be back to let you know...

Reason: Move one text line further down.
Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
Machine: MBP OSX 10.14.3, default bash terminal, calling '#!/usr/local/bin/dash'...
This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)

Hi!
I'm new in these forums and more or less new with Unix. So... here is the question:
does anyone know where is redirected the output of a command when you put >&- after it?
Does it means any standard file descriptor?
Thanks! (2 Replies)
