Hi Everyone,

It is known that shell scripts are executables which aren't compiled
and are just checked at run time or interpreted. How does the grammar
check for various commands happen in such case?

Thanks in advance!!!

The shell checks the syntax of each command in the script as it executes
it, just as it does when you're typing them interactively.
