zsh Main differences from bash Differences in quoting
Example
In bash, you have to quote arguments in order to preserve white space:
# bash
function print_first_argument {
echo "$1"
}
argument="has white space"
print_first_argument "$argument"
In Zsh, you don't need the quotes, because of different evaluation order:
# zsh
function print_first_argument {
echo $1
}
argument="has white space"
print_first_argument $argument
