$? value does not match the exit code in my ksh script

Question

I have the following code snippet in my ksh script.

if [ $rc -ne 0 ]; then
   print Error...
   exit 1
fi

This block executes since I see the printed statement, but after the script, at the shell prompt, when I type echo $?, the output I get is 0.

Answer 1

I think the code is not getting returned from the snippet mentioned. I have written below code and run in ksh . the output was as expected

ajay@pavilion:~$ cat ajay.ksh
var=1
if [ $var == 1 ]
then 
    print "Error"
    exit 1
fi

output

ajay@pavilion:~$ ksh
$ ./ajay.ksh
Error
$ echo $?
1
$
