if:tldr:f8de8
This command is an example of a conditional statement in a command line or scripting language.
Here is a breakdown of each part:
-
if
: This is the keyword that signals the start of a conditional statement. It is used to perform different actions based on whether a specified condition is true or false. -
%${variable}%
: This refers to a variable that is enclosed within percent signs. The syntax%variable%
is typically used to represent the value stored in a variable. The${variable}
indicates a placeholder that could be replaced with an actual variable name. -
=
: This is the comparison operator used to check if the value of%${variable}%
is equal to the next operand. -
${string}
: This is a string literal, representing a specific value that the variable is being compared to. -
(
and)
: These parentheses are used to group commands or expressions together. -
${echo Condition is true}
: This is an example of a command or action that would be executed if the condition in the if statement evaluates to true. In this case, it is anecho
command that would output the message "Condition is true" to the console or terminal.
Putting it all together, this command checks if the value stored in the variable (represented by %${variable}%
) is equal to the value in ${string}
. If the condition is true, it executes the command echo Condition is true
. If the condition is false, it moves on to the next part of the script or program.
