Edit Question
Title
Body
I am writing a script in bash to calculate the time elapsed for the execution of my commands, consider: STARTTIME=$(date +%s) #command block that takes time to complete... #........ ENDTIME=$(date +%s) echo "It takes $($ENDTIME - $STARTTIME) seconds to complete this task..." I guess my logic is correct however I end up with the following print out: "It takes seconds to complete this task..." Anything wrong with my string evaluation? I believe bash variables are untyped, I would love if there is a "string to integer" method in bash nevertheless.
