## You probably wanted || here, otherwise it's always false.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
if (( ret == 137 && ret == 143 ))
|
||||
then
|
||||
echo "Process killed by SIGTERM/SIGKILL"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
if (( ret == 137 || ret == 143 ))
|
||||
then
|
||||
echo "Process killed by SIGTERM/SIGKILL"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
The problematic condition will never trigger because of a logic error.
|
||||
|
||||
In English one think say "I want to check for the numbers `137` and `143`", but the test ends up checking that the number is both `137` and `143` at the same time, which it can't be (if the number is 137, it necessarily won't be 143, and vice versa).
|
||||
|
||||
The correct check is "if the number is `137` or if the number is `143`", which will be true if the value is either 137 or 143.
