Question

The variable assignment as x = 10 (whitespace on both sides of =) will work if we are not using C shell?

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in a national level competition.

This interesting question is from Command Substitution and Shell Variables in division The Shell of Unix

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

Explanation: If we are using any other shell other than C shell, the assignment in the form x = 10 will produce an error because the shell will interpret x as a command and =,10 as its arguments.
