This will be an ongoing list for personal reference.

IsaacG - from exercism https://exercism.org/tracks/bash/exercises/hamming/solutions/IsaacG

The && and || in bash are short-circuit logical operators. They quit evaluating as soon as possible.

a && b will only run b if a is true. a || b will only run b if a is false. a || b || c will stop as soon as anything is true. a && b || c will run a and ... b or c or both!! This is why a full blown if-else is often a good idea.

( is a subprocess. The exit status of the subprocess does propagate to the parent shell. If you got set -e (not recommended), you'd get its exit status. But a subshell cannot exit the parent shell.

Do you have any good react start up guides you recommend?

My take,

The documentation on hooks is very helpful

• the fact that it is not the default when you go through the react docs is kind of frustrating.

https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html

^ I would read through 1-8
