How Do Calculation of decimal numbers in cmd

Question

I have batch file and When user Writes number,Then automatically Adds numbers together. But if the User Writes Decimal number,Cmd Can not calculate.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is batch/vbscript hybrid.
The batch passes the arguments and parses the result and stores it in the variable Result

::'@echo off &for /f "delims=" %%a in ('cscript //nologo //e:vbscript "%~f0" "%*"') do set "Result=%%a"
::'echo(Result=%Result%&exit /b
Wscript.echo Eval(Wscript.Arguments(0))
wscript.quit

There is one invisible char following the ::' (I hope they get transferred)

Some examples where the batch file is stored as Math.cmd (my locale setting has a decimal comma)

>Math 3.76 + 2.54
Result=6,3

>Math 3.76 - 2.54
Result=1,22

>Math 3.76 * 2.54
Result=9,5504

>Math 3.76 / 2.54
Result=1,48031496062992

Answer 2

Try This :

@echo off
set /p x=PLS Enter Your decision = 
echo WSH.Echo Eval(Wscript.Arguments(0))>>Q.vbs
cscript //nologo Q.vbs %x%
Del "Q.vbs"
Pause>nul

Pure batch only supports 32bit integers, you therefore have to make some changes to make it work which is not difficult, but is is a slightly larger script. Instead use a combination of vbscript and batch. Create a file and name it something like MyCalc.cmd and paste the below into it:

@echo off
setlocal
>"%temp%\calculate.vbs" echo Set clc = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") : Wscript.echo (%*)
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('cscript /nologo "%temp%\calculate.vbs"') do set "var=%%a"
echo %var%
del "%temp%\calculate.vbs"

To use it, open cmd.exe cd to where the file you saved is, then run MyCalc.cmd 10*0.5 or MyCalc.cmd 8.2/0.5 or MyCalc.cmd 3.2-0.3 or MyCalc.cmd 10+9.5 etc.

Alternatively, add the path to the script to the system's PATH environmental and you do not have to cd to it, or just call it straight from cmdline as d:\path to file\scripts\MyBat.cmd 10+2.3 etc.

This solution is one provided from an earlier post here

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set decimals=2

set /A one=1, decimalsP1=decimals+1
for /L %%i in (1,1,%decimals%) do set "one=!one!0"

:getNumber
set /P "numA=Enter a number with %decimals% decimals: "
if "!numA:~-%decimalsP1%,1!" equ "." goto numOK
echo The number must have a point and %decimals% decimals
goto getNumber

:numOK
set numB=2.54

set "fpA=%numA:.=%"
set "fpB=%numB:.=%"

set /A add=fpA+fpB, sub=fpA-fpB, mul=fpA*fpB/one, div=fpA*one/fpB

echo %numA% + %numB% = !add:~0,-%decimals%!.!add:~-%decimals%!
echo %numA% - %numB% = !sub:~0,-%decimals%!.!sub:~-%decimals%!
echo %numA% * %numB% = !mul:~0,-%decimals%!.!mul:~-%decimals%!
echo %numA% / %numB% = !div:~0,-%decimals%!.!div:~-%decimals%!

for example:

Enter a number with 2 decimals: 3.76
3.76 + 2.54 = 6.30
3.76 - 2.54 = 1.22
3.76 * 2.54 = 9.55
3.76 / 2.54 = 1.48
