I am getting syntax error with (( )) brackets,

         read  -p "enter the file name: " file

        if  ((  -e   "$file"  ))
        then
         echo  " $file  exit"
        else
        echo  " $file  not exit "
         fi

`(( ))` is only for math. `[[ ]]` is the general extended test syntax. – Charles Duffy Dec 01 '20 at 16:35
`if [ -f "$file" ]` – 0stone0 Dec 01 '20 at 16:35
