What command means "do nothing" in a conditional in BASH? -

-

sometimes when making conditionals, need code nothing, e.g., here, want bash nothing when $a greater "10", print "1" if $a less "5", otherwise, print "2":

if [ "$a" -ge 10 ] elif [ "$a" -le 5 ]     echo "1" else     echo "2" fi

this makes error though. there command nothing , not slow down script?

the no-op command in shell : (colon).

if [ "$a" -ge 10 ]     : elif [ "$a" -le 5 ]     echo "1" else     echo "2" fi

from bash manual:

: (a colon)
nothing beyond expanding arguments , performing redirections. return status zero.
