shell-script apt yum rpm software-distribution

                          I have the following install script for ubuntu :

    #!/bin/bash
    
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt full-upgrade -y
    sudo apt install jq
    sudo apt autoclean -y
    sudo apt autoremove

will the following work under fedora, red hat, mageia or other rpm-based distros

...or does the syntax have to change more?

    #!/bin/bash
    
    sudo rpm update
    sudo rpm full-upgrade -y
    sudo rpm install jq
    sudo rpm autoclean -y
    sudo rpm autoremove


also can I do something to the effect of the following? :

    #!/bin/bash
    if [ $(command -v yum) ]
    then
        sudo yum update
        sudo yum full-upgrade -y
        sudo yum install jq
        sudo yum autoclean -y
        sudo yum autoremove
    else
        sudo rpm update
        sudo rpm full-upgrade -y
        sudo rpm install jq
        sudo rpm autoclean -y
        sudo rpm autoremove
    fi
