To understand the output of the given command, let's break it down:
The command is: echo this || echo that && echo other
The echo
command is used to display a message on the console.
The ||
operator is the logical OR operator, which means that if the command on the left side of ||
fails (returns a non-zero exit status), then the command on the right side of ||
will be executed.
The &&
operator is the logical AND operator, which means that if the command on the left side of &&
succeeds (returns a zero exit status), then the command on the right side of &&
will be executed.
Now, let's evaluate the given command:
echo this
- This command will be executed regardless of the previous command's exit status. It will display "this" on the console.
echo that
- This command will not be executed because the previous command (echo this
) was successful and returned a zero exit status.
echo other
- This command will be executed because the previous command (echo this
) was successful. It will display "other" on the console.
Therefore, the output of the given command will be "this other", which corresponds to option C.
