builtin help let



  • let: let arg [arg ...]
        Evaluate arithmetic expressions.
    
        Evaluate each ARG as an arithmetic expression.  Evaluation is done in
        fixed-width integers with no check for overflow, though division by 0
        is trapped and flagged as an error.  The following list of operators is
        grouped into levels of equal-precedence operators.  The levels are listed
        in order of decreasing precedence.
    
            id++, id--      variable post-increment, post-decrement
            ++id, --id      variable pre-increment, pre-decrement
            -, +            unary minus, plus
            !, ~            logical and bitwise negation
            **              exponentiation
            *, /, %         multiplication, division, remainder
            +, -            addition, subtraction
            <<, >>          left and right bitwise shifts
            <=, >=, <, >    comparison
            ==, !=          equality, inequality
            &               bitwise AND
            ^               bitwise XOR
            |               bitwise OR
            &&              logical AND
            ||              logical OR
            expr ? expr : expr
                            conditional operator
            =, *=, /=, %=,
            +=, -=, <<=, >>=,
            &=, ^=, |=      assignment
    
        Shell variables are allowed as operands.  The name of the variable
        is replaced by its value (coerced to a fixed-width integer) within
        an expression.  The variable need not have its integer attribute
        turned on to be used in an expression.
    
        Operators are evaluated in order of precedence.  Sub-expressions in
        parentheses are evaluated first and may override the precedence
        rules above.
    
        Exit Status:
        If the last ARG evaluates to 0, let returns 1; let returns 0 otherwise.
