Thread: Shell programming query.

Hi,
In shell planning, it says to use -eq for denotative comparision, but comfort both the tailing codes affect...

is it ok to use == for denotative scrutiny ? Also, do I necessary to enquote $b and $c in "" (eg: if [ "$b" -eq "$c"]?

Code:
b=5;
c=89;

if [ $b == $c ]
then
reflexion "Equilateral"
else
utter "NOT Balanced"
fi

If I experience the variables/literals involved on either or both sides of a compare are accomplishment to be numeric I tend to use the -eq, ne, -lt, etc. syntax. For 'otherwise stuff' I use the = (one equalized oppositeness - which I believe is equal to ==) and I do wrapper quotes around literals and variables to forbid the covering from having error should there be specific characters or a shifting beingness empty.

its runs either way but you should make utilize what's been said in the tut
i conceive its the proper way. not beneficial at it though
