shell homework
How does the expenditure of the following commands see out (in a sh-compatible Shell as bash or ksh)?
a) A=2; echo $A; ( echo $A; A=5; echo $A ); echo $A
b) B=2; echo $B; sh -c 'echo $B; B=5; echo $B'; echo $B
c) C=2; export C; echo $C; sh -c 'echo $C; C=5; echo $C'; echo $C
Explain in each case, why the expenditures indicated by you come!
Hey,
this is the last task of my homework. I really do not know how to answer the question.
I would be very happy if you can help me.
thank you very very much.
ciao
