## In POSIX sh, 'let' is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
(or "In dash, ... is not supported." when using `dash`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
let x=2+2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
Use standard `$((arithmetic expansion))` instead of legacy `let`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
x=$((2+2))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
`let` is a command used for arithmetic in some shells, but it's not a standard command. Use `$((..))` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
If you only intend to target shells that supports this feature, you can change
|
||||
the shebang to a shell that guarantees support, or [[ignore]] this warning.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `# shellcheck disable=SC3000-SC4000` to ignore all such compatibility
|
||||
warnings.
