## In POSIX sh, $[..] in place of $((..)) is undefined.
### Problematic code:
```sh
var=$[1 + 2]
```
### Correct code:
```sh
var=$((1 + 2))
```
### Rationale:
Your script uses a shell feature not supported by the shebang. Either rewrite the script to be portable, or change the shebang to explicitly require a shell like Bash. In this case, `$[ .. ]` can easily be replaced by the POSIX standard arithmetic expansion `$(( .. ))`.
### Exceptions:
None
