Hi all
I am new in cygwin as well as linux and I am trying to learn shell scripting
I tried to write following script which doesn't give me appropriate result.
x=3
y='[ $x -eq 10 ]'
z='[ $x -lt 10 ]'
echo x=&x y=$y z=$z
and the output is:
x=5 y=[ $x -eq 10 ] z=[ $x -lt 10 ]
I expected
x=5 y=0 z=1
or x=5 y=1 z=0 ( I am not sure till now that whether 0 is true or 1 is true)
