Hey There,
For loop example:
conditional example
You can use printf in bash to work with floating point numerals, otherwise you need to simulate by multiplying or dividing (perhaps both) by 100 (assuming 2 decimal places) at some point and putting the decimal in the correct place using sed or some other OS built-in tool
Best wishes,
Mike

see my sig links for learning bash scripting. If you want to do floating point maths, you can use tools like bc.
