You're making assumptions about what the OP's question was. 
Specifically, your interpretation appears to be: "I [don't want to] have 
to calculate subnet address [by doing] binary AND operation on ipaddress 
AND subnet mask to know subnet address."

Another possible interpretation is: "I [think] you have to calculate 
subnet address[, i.e.] you have to do binary AND operation on ipaddress 
AND subnet mask to know subnet address. Can any one help me to know 
subnet address of the machine in bash script?".

Well, you're the one getting upset by a perfectly valid (IMO) 
interpretation of the OP's question and your reply. Maybe consider the 
other point of view first? Or just relax, getting upset won't help 
anyway :-).
