Grades exercise

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Write a shell script program that will input a name and a mark between 0 and 100. The program then displays the name, the mark, and a letter grade for the mark, as per the following grade cut formula.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

case/read/echo/if

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

I have a program that i need to get done that gets the person's name and his grade then prints it in this order "name-grade-gradeletter" so i wrote this code:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
while :; do
read -p "Enter the person's name: " name
read -p "Enter the grade of the person: " grade

case $grade in
[50-59]) echo "$name $grade F";;
[60-69]) echo "$name $grade C";;
[70-79]) echo "$name $grade B";;
[80-100]) echo "$name $grade A";;
*) echo "Wrong input"

esac
done
echo "Goodbye"

So when you input the name and the grade, it just skips to the asterisk and outputs "Wrong input". Shouldn't it go through the values since the case is $grade and is using grade that is given by the person ?

Can someone tell me my mistake ?

P.S i tried changing the case to if command to see if it works but it shows me that no such file exists ?:

Code:

if [$grade >= 50||$grade < 60]; then
echo "$name $grade F"
elif [$grade >= 60||$grade < 70]; then
echo "$name $grade C"
elif [$grade >= 70||$grade < 80]; then
echo "$name $grade B"
elif [$grade >= 80||$grade <= 100]; then
echo "$name $grade A"
else
echo "Wrong input"
fi

4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):

Sheridan college, Oakville, canada, Syed tanbeer, ["https://academics.sheridancollege.ca/programs/computer-systems-technology-software-development-and-network-engineering"

Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

mktemp

mktemp(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						mktemp(3C)

NAME

       mktemp - make a unique file name  from a template

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *mktemp(char *template);

DESCRIPTION

       The  mktemp() function replaces the contents of the string pointed to by template with a unique file name, and returns template. The string
       in template should look like a file name with six trailing 'X's; mktemp() will replace the 'X's with a character string that can be used to
       create a unique file name. Only 26 unique file names per thread can be created for each unique template.

RETURN VALUES

       The mktemp() function returns the pointer template. If a unique name cannot be created, template points to a null string.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Generate a filename.

       The  following example replaces the contents of the "template" string with a 10-character filename beginning with the characters "file" and
       returns a pointer to the "template" string that contains the new filename.

	 #include <stdlib.h>
	 ...
	 char *template = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX";
	 char *ptr;
	 ptr = mktemp(template);

USAGE

       Between the time a pathname is created and the file opened, it is possible for some other process to create a file with the same name.  The
       mkstemp(3C) function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function.

ATTRIBUTES
