<!-- Introduction -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
If statements allow us to make decisions in our Bash scripts. They allow us to whether run or not a piece
|
|
of code based on a condition that we set. <br>
|
|
If statements take this form:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
if [condition]
|
|
then
|
|
command1
|
|
command2
|
|
command3
|
|
...
|
|
fi
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Anything between <code>then</code> and <code>fi</code> will be executed only if the condtion
|
|
evaluates to true. <br>
|
|
Here is a simple example:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
i=210;
|
|
|
|
if [$i -ge 200]
|
|
then
|
|
echo You chose a big number.
|
|
fi
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
In this first example we evaluate a varibale <code>i</code> to 105. The <i> if statement </i> will print "You chose a big number"
|
|
only if the number contained in our varibale <code>i</code> is <b>G</b>reater or <b>E</b>qual to 200. <br>
|
|
This is our case, therefore the output of this piece of code will be:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
You chose a big number.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<!-- End of Introduction -->
|

|
|
<!-- If Else -->
|
|
<h3> If Else </h3>
|
|
|
|
Sometimes we want to perform a certain set of actions, if our condtion evaluates to true and another set
|
|
of actions if our condition evaluates to false. We can do this with the <i> if else </i> statement.
|
|
<i> If else </i> sattements take this form:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
if [condition]
|
|
then
|
|
command1
|
|
command2
|
|
command3
|
|
...
|
|
else
|
|
command1
|
|
command2
|
|
command3
|
|
...
|
|
fi
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Here is a simple example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
i=50;
|
|
|
|
if [$i -ge 200]
|
|
then
|
|
echo You chose a big number.
|
|
else
|
|
echo You chose a small number.
|
|
fi
|
|
</pre>
|
|
In this example, that is just an extention of the previuous example, we evealuate a variable <code>i</code>
|
|
to 50. If <code>i</code> is gretaer or equal to 200, you print out "You chose a big number", otherwise,
|
|
(if <code>i</code> is not gretaer or equal to 200), just like in this case, you print out "You chose a small number".
|
|
Therefore the output of this piece of code is:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
You chose a small number.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<!-- End of If Else -->
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- If Elif Else -->
|
|
<h3> If Elif Else </h3>
|
|
Sometimes, in programming, it is necessary to have a series of condtions that lead to different paths.
|
|
We can accomodate this need with the <i>if else elif</i> mechanism.
|
|
The <i>if else elif</i> mechanism takes this form:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
if [condition]
|
|
then
|
|
command1
|
|
command2
|
|
command3
|
|
...
|
|
elif [condition]
|
|
then
|
|
command1
|
|
command2
|
|
command3
|
|
...
|
|
else
|
|
command1
|
|
command2
|
|
command3
|
|
...
|
|
fi
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Here is a simple example:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
i=150;
|
|
|
|
if [$i -ge 200]
|
|
then
|
|
echo You chose a big number.
|
|
elif [$i == 150]
|
|
then
|
|
echo You chose 150.
|
|
else
|
|
echo You chose a small number
|
|
fi
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
In this example, that is just an extention of the previuous example, we evealuate a variable <code>i</code>
|
|
to 150. If <code>i</code> is gretaer or equal to 200, you print out "You chose a big number", if <code>i</code>
|
|
is equal to 150 you print out "You chose 150" otherwise you print out "You chose a small number".
|
|
Therefore the output of this piece of code is:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
You chose 150.
|
|
</pre>
