Check if a number is less than or equal to another number
$ [[ ${integer_a} -le ${integer_b} ]]
try on your machine
The command [[ ${integer_a} -le ${integer_b} ]]
is a conditional expression used in shell scripting. It compares two integer values (integer_a
and integer_b
) to determine if the value of integer_a
is less than or equal to the value of integer_b
.
Here's how the command works:
[[
: This is a built-in shell command that starts a conditional expression.${integer_a}
: This is a variable that holds the value of the first integer to be compared.-le
: This is a comparison operator that stands for "less than or equal to".${integer_b}
: This is a variable that holds the value of the second integer to be compared.]]
: This closes the conditional expression.
If the condition integer_a
is less than or equal to integer_b
is true, the command will return a true value (exit code 0). Otherwise, it will return a false value (exit code 1).
Here's an example to illustrate the usage:
integer_a=4
integer_b=7
if [[ ${integer_a} -le ${integer_b} ]]; then
echo "${integer_a} is less than or equal to ${integer_b}"
else
echo "${integer_a} is greater than ${integer_b}"
fi
In this example, since 4 is less than 7, the command will output: "4 is less than or equal to 7".

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
