I made this pseudocodebut i don't think i'm getting anywhere near of what my script is supposed to do, can anyone help me solve this?
Pseudocode:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
  for $filename in (~)
  skip if size(~) < 100K
  display $filename
  echo =  "Delete or compress?"
  if response == "delete"
    rm  $nombre
     $nombre + time >> log.txt
  else if response == "compress"
   zip $nombre.zip $nombre
