In the set_global_result function, the global variable RESULT is modified by using the following steps:
- The function does not declare
RESULTas a global variable explicitly, but it modifies it directly. - Inside the function, the line
RESULT=$(($1 * $1))calculates the square of the input parameter$1and assigns it toRESULT.
Here's the relevant part of the code:
set_global_result() {
RESULT=$(($1 * $1))
}
When you call set_global_result with a number, it computes the square of that number and updates the global variable RESULT with the new value. For example, calling set_global_result 6 will set RESULT to 36.
