Good day. Something strange is happening to me with this script that I have designed moments ago. I am a Computer Science professor, and among the subjects I teach, there is one that has to do with BASH programming. I make my own material, therefore, I have been working since last year with this compendium of exercises that I have created, but I had never noticed before that the BASH output of this program could be a "bug". If not, I apologize and I'm sorry for wasting your time.
*This is the script code, exactly as I have it in my computer:* #!/bin/bash clear echo "" read -p "Ingrese un número entero de hasta 2 cifras : " min read -p "Ingrese otro número entero de hasta 2 cifras, mayor que el anterior : " max if [[ ${#min} -gt 2 ]] || [[ ${#max} -gt 2 ]];then clear echo "" && echo "Deben ser números de hasta 2 cifras..." read -p "Pulse ENTER para continuar..." bash "$0" fi if [[ $min == $max ]];then suma=$((min+max)) else for((c=$min;c<=max;c+=1)) do suma=$((suma+c)) done fi echo "" echo "La suma entre "$min" y "$max", es "$suma"." echo "" *This is the output when I type "222" and "222" for min and max, respectively, and in the next try, I enter "2" and "2":* Ingrese un número entero de hasta 2 cifras : 2 Ingrese otro número entero de hasta 2 cifras, mayor que el anterior : 2 La suma entre 2 y 2, es 4. *La suma entre 222 y 222, es 444.* What is in red is what I understand should not happen: the program repeats the same operation, when the "bash $0" is supposed to reinitialize the program and show only one result, not 2. And if I enter 3, 4, or 5 wrong values, I get 3, 4, 5 additional results, respectively. Before writing this report, I ran the same script on Arch Linux, getting exactly the same results. *I'm using openSUSE 15.4 (Leap, updated until today and phisically installed, not virtualized) with "KDE Plasma desktop 5.24.4, Frameworks 5.90.0, Qt 5.15.2 running on X11" and kernel "5.14.21-150400.24.63-default" and I execute all my scripts in "Konsole", now in 21.12.3 version. The hardware is AMD Ryzen 3 3200U in an ACER Aspire 5 machine.* I will be at your service for whatever you need to ask me.
