Not clear on whether ksh93's right shift () is arithmetic or logical, as that
may affect the outcome here, but here's what I'm observing:
This is for ksh93 version:
# print ${.sh.version}
Version JM 93u 2011-02-08
Noticing that when we right shift a value, things seem to work right initially:
Interested in the behaviour I tried that with my version (Version JM 93t+
2010-03-05( and it gives the same result.
Moreover I noticed that in
integerb=$((2**32)) ; for ((i=0;i=97;i++)) ; do printf %5d\t%12d\n $i
$(( b i )) ; done
typeset -i b=$((2**32)) ; for ((i=0;i=97;i++)) ; do printf
