Check if a number is greater than another number
$ [[ ${integer_a} -gt ${integer_b} ]]
try on your machine
This command is used to compare two integer variables ${integer_a}
and ${integer_b}
.
-gt
is an operator used for numeric comparison, and it stands for "greater than".
The command checks if ${integer_a}
is greater than ${integer_b}
. If the condition is true, meaning ${integer_a}
is indeed greater than ${integer_b}
, the command will return a true value, which is often represented as a 1. If the condition is false, the command will return a false value, often represented as a 0 or an empty string.
