What command means “do nothing” in a conditional in Bash?
问题 Sometimes when making conditionals, I need the code to do nothing, e.g., here, I want Bash to do nothing when $a is greater than "10", print "1" if $a is less than "5", otherwise, print "2": if [ "$a" -ge 10 ] then elif [ "$a" -le 5 ] then echo "1" else echo "2" fi This makes an error though. Is there a command which will do nothing and also not slow down my script? 回答1: The no-op command in shell is : (colon). if [ "$a" -ge 10 ] then : elif [ "$a" -le 5 ] then echo "1" else echo "2" fi From
