To add two numbers in the UNIX/Linux awk
command, you can use the +
operator. For example, to add the numbers 5
and 10
, you would use the following command:
awk 'BEGIN {print 5 + 10}'
This will print the result of the addition, 15
, to the terminal.
Alternatively, you can use the awk
command to read the numbers from a file or from standard input. For example, to add the numbers in the file numbers.txt
, you could use the following command:
awk '{print $1 + $2}' numbers.txt
This will read the first two numbers in each line of the numbers.txt
file, and print the sum of those numbers to the terminal.
