  1. Which choice will not print “Hello World” in the terminal?

    • option-1

    • option-2
      myVar=5
      [[ $myVar -lt 10 ]] || echo " Hello World"
    The OR Operator (||) is much like an ‘else’ statement in programming. The above operator allow you to execute second command only if the execution of first command fails, i.e., the exit status of first command is ‘1’.

      myVar=5
      [[ $myVar -gt 10 ]] && echo " Hello World"

      myVar=5
      [[ $myVar -gt 10 ]] || echo " Hello World"
