Reading 5 Students names and grades using while loop????
How do I write a shell script file to read 5 student names (First and Last name) and their grades using a While Loop? Find the Average, Maximum, and Minimum of grades using the same While Loop. Prompt the user using tput to enter the information (first name, last name, grade). Save the data in a file called students.txt. Sort the file by last name and display it on the screen. Someone gave me this to go buy but im way basic and am not sure if there is anything missing from this. I also need to be able to use Tput.
If anyone can help me get this done or tell me whats missing id appreciate it.
1. suppose file is of form "Name Surname Grade"
#!/bin/zsh
sum=0
min=10000
max=0
n=5
i=0
file="students.txt"
cat $file | while read line; do
set line
grade=$3
sum='expr $sum + $grade'
if [ $grade -gt $max ]; then
max=$grade
fi
if [ $grade -lt $min ]; then
min=$grade
fi
i='expr $i + 1'
if [ $i -ge $n ]; then
break
fi
done
average='expr $sum / $i'
echo "Max: $max Min: $min Avg: $average"

io::async::loop::select
IO::Async::Loop::Select(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Loop::Select(3pm)
NAME
"IO::Async::Loop::Select" - use "IO::Async" with "select(2)"
SYNOPSIS
Normally an instance of this class would not be directly constructed by a program. It may however, be useful for runinng IO::Async with an
existing program already using a "select" call.
use IO::Async::Loop::Select;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop::Select->new;
$loop->add( ... );
while(1) {
my ( $rvec, $wvec, $evec ) = ('') x 3;
my $timeout;
$loop->pre_select( $rvec, $wvec, $evec, $timeout );
...
my $ret = select( $rvec, $wvec, $evec, $timeout );
...
$loop->post_select( $rvec, $evec, $wvec );
}
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of "IO::Async::Loop" uses the select(2) syscall to perform read-ready and write-ready tests.
To integrate with an existing "select"-based event loop, a pair of methods "pre_select" and "post_select" can be called immediately before
and after a "select" call. The relevant bits in the read-ready, write-ready and exceptional-state bitvectors are set by the "pre_select"
method, and tested by the "post_select" method to pick which event callbacks to invoke.
CONSTRUCTOR
$loop = IO::Async::Loop::Select->new
This function returns a new instance of a "IO::Async::Loop::Select" object. It takes no special arguments.
METHODS
$loop->pre_select( $readvec, $writevec, $exceptvec, $timeout )
This method prepares the bitvectors for a "select" call, setting the bits that the Loop is interested in. It will also adjust the $timeout
value if appropriate, reducing it if the next event timeout the Loop requires is sooner than the current value.
$readvec
$writevec
$exceptvec
Scalar references to the reading, writing and exception bitvectors
$timeout
Scalar reference to the timeout value
$loop->post_select( $readvec, $writevec, $exceptvec )
This method checks the returned bitvectors from a "select" call, and calls any of the callbacks that are appropriate.
$readvec
$writevec
$exceptvec
Scalars containing the read-ready, write-ready and exception bitvectors
$count = $loop->loop_once( $timeout )
This method calls the "pre_select" method to prepare the bitvectors for a "select" syscall, performs it, then calls "post_select" to
process the result. It returns the total number of callbacks invoked by the "post_select" method, or "undef" if the underlying select(2)
syscall returned an error.
