List contains returns true for checking if 2 exists in a list inserted with "2" about gobash HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the comment.

That example looks like something I would expect to see in bash. Everything is string in a way; there is really no difference between "2" and 2 when used in bash line, like you did.

$lst add "2"

is no diff from

$lst add 2

Here is also more "native" bash example.

#!/bin/bash                                                                                                                                                                                   

x=2
z="2"

if [ ${x} = "${z}" ]; then
        echo "same"
fi

What do you expect to see as the result in this case?
