How to Multiply Variables in Bash
This tutorial demonstrates how to multiply two variables in Bash.
Multiply Variables in Bash
Multiplying two variables is an easy operation in Bash. We can use the arithmetic operator * to multiply two numbers in Bash.
Multiplying is a step-by-step process in Bash. Follow the steps below to multiply two variables in Bash.
-
First of all, initialize two variables.
-
Then we multiply to variables using the
*operator with$(...)or the external program expressionexpr. -
Make sure to assign the above multiplication to a variable.
-
Echothe final variable.
Now let’s implement the variable multiplication based on the above steps.
Number1=555
Number2=666
Result=$((Number1 * Number2))
echo $Result
The code above will multiply the two variables, Number1 and Number2, using the * multiplication operator with $(...) and then echo the result. See the output:
