Help with Linux Script!

[eltiti55555]

I was asked to make a program in Linux(Ubuntu) that removes all empty files in the current directory. I've got an idea on how to do it, but for some reason it's not working as I planned,since the brackets from the if statements are giving me an error.

[: 6: find: unexpected operator

This is my program:

#!/bin/bash
if [ find . -type f -size 0 ]
then
find . -type f -size 0 | xargs rm -r
echo "The empty files have been deleted"
else
echo "There are no empty files in this directory
fi

I really need this done ASAP Pls

  if [ $(find . -type f -size 0) ]

or you could enclose in backticks, `, I find the $() easier to read.

Hello and Welcome.
Were you asked by a teacher? This smells of homework to me and that is forbidden. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
