I have d1=\"11\" and d2=\"07\". I want to convert d1 and d2 to integers and perform d1-d2. How do I do this
d1=\"11\"
d2=\"07\"
d1
d2
d1-d2
The standard solution:
expr $d1 - $d2
You can also do:
echo $(( d1 - d2 ))
but beware that this will treat 07 as an octal number! (so 07 is the same as 7, but 010 is different than 10).
07
7
010
10
