it's a qst about expr and a qst about multiplications












0















My bash consider "*" like the variable to show all the files in current directory



So if i do expr 1 * 1 it will output




expr 1 Desktop Documents Downloads[...] 1




(for ~/ current directory)



So expr willn't work. But for other operand it works



(sorry for the title, the bot refuses "expr and multiplications")
