bash won't enter to else : <p>I have this code that expects string from the end user:</p>

<pre><code>#!/bin/bash

echo "You are about to deploy the site from STAGING to PRODUCTION, Are you sure? yes/no ";

read continue

if (( "$continue" == "yes" )) ; then
        echo "Yes"
else
        echo "No"
fi
</code></pre>

<p>The problem is that the else will never be.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
