Help with ELIF statement
I am receiving an elif error on line 13 and I can not figure out the reasoning behind it. I have added the then statement that I was initially missing. Any help would be great.
#The purpose of this script is for the end user to be able to enter a positive number
#User enters a number
NUM=$1
#If user enters more than one it will return this statement
if [ $# -ne1 1 ] then
echo "Only enter one number!"
exit
#For if the user enters a negative number
elif [ $NUM -le 0 ] then
echo "Enter a positive number!"
fi
#Executionary if statement
while [ "$NUM" -gt 0 ]
do
printf $NUM
if[ $NUM -gt 1 ] then
printf ","
fi
NUM=$((NUM - 1))
done
Thanks
