I am new to shell. I am not quite understand the following function. This function basically increase the hour by 1.

I am wondering why the developer put “10#” in front of $g_current_hour+1. From my understanding, dose # in shell means comments?

f_increment_hour() {
    g_next_hour=$((10#$g_current_hour+1))
}

    Everything depends on the context. Here 10# means base 10.

    Constants with a leading 0 are interpreted as octal numbers. A
    leading 0x or 0X denotes hexadecimal. Otherwise, numbers take the
    form [base#]n, where the optional base is a decimal number between
    2 and 64 representing the arithmetic base, and n is a number in that
    base. If base# is omitted, then base 10 is used.
