Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Why do these 2 methods result in different outcomes? Post 303021974 by rovf on Wednesday 22nd of August 2018 02:39:24 AM

After running ((counter++)), the exit code is 1, not zero, and hence the continue statement is not executed. The reason is that the value of counter++ is what is stored in counter BEFORE it is incremented, i.e zero. If the value of the expression is zero, the exit code of the ((....)) command is 1. If the value of the expression is not zero, the exit code of the ((....)) command is 0.
