Some shell scripts does not support (()), use [[]] with Comparison operators

Following are Comparison operator

-eq : equal -ne : Not equal -lt : Less than -le : Less than equal -gt : Greater than -ge: Greater than or equal

used the -eq operator in if fi conditional statement

first=13
second=15

if [ "$first" -eq "$second" ]; then
  echo "Two numbers are equal";
fi

You can also do with ternary operator

first=13
second=15

echo $(( first == second ?  "equal": "not equal" ))
