Can Linux.com please get qualified authors in the future? Not only is this Author wrong about bash's arithmetic (which is basic bash knowledge), but he leaves out lots of expected information. How many people use their shell to do calculating? I would say that floating point arithmetic is the least of my worries when considering a shell. Ksh uses less memory? Most systems these days come with at least 512 mb of RAM, this makes bash's 6mb versus ksh's 4mb a silly point to argue.
