ii=(1 4 15 16 32 40 41 58 61 72 73 74 97);
for i in ${ii[@]}; do
    echo $i;
done
 
for i in {1..12}; do echo $i; done
for i in {1..12..2}; do echo $i; done
for i in `seq 0 12`; do echo $i; done
break, continue
The break command terminates the loop (breaks out of it), while continue causes a jump to the next iteration of the loop, skipping all the remaining commands in that particular loop cycle.

while

    while [ -e $trash_dir/$newfile ]; do
		random_suffix=$RANDOM
		newfile=${file}.${random_suffix}
	done

opposite to while, it does something repeatedly until the condition is ture.

In the above web page, example 6 explains the difference between [ and [[ (single square bracket and double square bracket). The [[ is an enhanced version of [, normally we do NOT need to use [[ unless we want to use globbing feature and etc. In contrast to [ which is a command like "test", [[ is a keyword, and [[ is only recognized in korn and bash.

-e      exist file
-d      directory exist 
-eq     equal number
-ne     not equal
-gt     a greater than b
-lt     less than
-nt     newer than
-ot     older than
==      same string
!=      not same string
-z      true if string size is zero
=~      regular expression

ps: == only works in bash, run 'bash script.sh' instead of 'sh script.sh'.
