You've given a third explanation now; partially contradicting the other two before it. I'm less sure which of your three partial explanations to believe than ever.
Don't tell us how it's used in words, just show us what keys you hit and what the program puts back out to terminal and/or file.
Show a working example of you using it once, not in a loop, with one value. Show what you type in. Show what you get out.

run that program manually, putting one value in, getting one value out. Use screenshots if you have to, but
show us!.
Don't show us a script which
doesn't do what you want. Obviously that won't tell us what you
do want -- it's wrong, but in what way is it wrong? We can't know the way to run it successfully without seeing you run the program successfully.
