[SOLVED]IF-Statements not working

Dear Community,

I tried for over 4 days to figur this out.
I got a Shell-Code which contains some If-statements which are driving me crazy.
First of all the statements:

Code:

err=0;

echo "If-Test begins..."
if ! [[ "$err"==1 ]];then
echo "If NOT 0"
fi

if [[ "$err"!=0 ]];then
echo "If NOT (inside braces) 0"
fi

if [[ "$err"==1 ]];then
echo "If 0"
fi

if [[ "$err"==1 ]];then
echo "Using \" for 0"
fi

As "err" is 0 the last two statements shouldn't become true.
But when I am running the scrip the secon, third and fourth statement are returning "true" back, the first one not.
I really cannot get it... Where is my mistake?

Actually I tried every form of the comparison:

Code:

$err=0
$err==0
"$err"="0"
"$err"=="0"
'$err'='0'
 '$err'=='0'
$'err'='0'
$'err'=='0'

I also tried to mix the various format (eg. $err=="0") but really nothing is working.

Nervermind, just realisied that I have to put whitespaces between the argument and the variable...
Thanks anyway!
