Question

Write bash script that does the following:

It accepts two parameters from the keyboard.

The first parameter is always a word (like cfs264sp1702).

The second parameter is always a number greater than 1, for example 5.

The script has a while loop, inside of which it does the following in every iteration.

It prints the first parameter.

After printing the first parameter, the code prints a number, which is 1 in the first iteration, 2 in the second iteration, etc. (always incrementing by 1 in each iteration).

The loop iterates as many times as the value in the second parameter.

Explanation / Answer

Program:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter parameter 1 : "
read p1
echo "Enter parameter 2 : "
read p2
i=1
while [ $i -le $p1 ]
do
   echo $p2,$i
   #echo $i
   i=`expr $i + 1`
done

Result:

Enter parameter 1 :
5
Enter parameter 2 :
