Question

I have a conditional like this:

if [ "$day" == "1" ]
then
    echo "First day."
fi

I want to add an additional conditional, so that if either are true, it will print “First day”, e.g.:

IF $day IS 1 OR $a IS 1
THEN
    "First day."
FI

How can this be done in BASH?

Answer 1

if [ "$day" == "1" ] || [ "$a" == "1" ]; then echo "First day."; fi

or

if [ "$day" == "1" ] || [ “$a" == "1" ]
then
    echo "First day."
fi
