shell:warp:8c02a

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.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
