What shell are you using for your class assignment?

What do your class notes, your text book, or the manual page for your shell say is the proper format for a while loop? Since your assignment says you have to use a while loop, that would seem to be a good place to start (especially since neither of your coding attempts contains a while loop that isn't getting a syntax error).

Note that the syntax for a while loop is not the same as the syntax for a for loop. And, the script that you are writing does not need two loops. If you need to use a while loop, you do not need a for loop to get the job you are trying to do done.

As a hint, I would say that if you're using a while loop to solve this problem, anything using {1..100} is probably not going to help. Using that construct does not fit with the syntax of a while loop. And, after reading your other thread, I would comment that when you said you didn't know how to add numbers that weren't supplied as input from a user, you were wrong. The statement in your previous thread:

Code:

        sum=$((sum + $n))

did exactly that. Neither sum nor n were provided by a user, but you have a statement that is adding two numbers together when neither of those numbers were typed in by a user. This statement, or one very similar to it, is likely to be needed in your script. It doesn't contain any syntax errors and it does add two numbers together and store the updated results correctly.

cpan

CPAN(1) 						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide						   CPAN(1)

NAME

       cpan - easily interact with CPAN from the command line

SYNOPSIS

	       # with arguments and no switches, installs specified modules
	       cpan module_name [ module_name ... ]

	       # with switches, installs modules with extra behavior
	       cpan [-cfimt] module_name [ module_name ... ]

	       # without arguments, starts CPAN.pm shell
	       cpan

	       # without arguments, but some switches
	       cpan [-ahrvACDLO]

DESCRIPTION

       This script provides a command interface (not a shell) to CPAN. At the moment it uses CPAN.pm to do the work, but it is not a one-shot com-
       mand runner for CPAN.pm.

       Meta Options

       These options are mutually exclusive, and the script processes them in this order: [hvCAar].  Once the script finds one, it ignores the
       others, and then exits after it finishes the task.  The script ignores any other command line options.

       -a  Creates the CPAN.pm autobundle with CPAN::Shell->autobundle.

       -A module [ module ... ]
	   Shows the primary maintainers for the specified modules

       -C module [ module ... ]
	   Show the "Changes" files for the specified modules

       -D module [ module ... ]
	   Show the module details. This prints one line for each out-of-date module (meaning, modules locally installed but have newer versions
	   on CPAN).  Each line has three columns: module name, local version, and CPAN version.

       -L author [ author ... ]
	   List the modules by the specified authors.

       -h  Prints a help message.

       -O  Show the out-of-date modules.

       -r  Recompiles dynamically loaded modules with CPAN::Shell->recompile.

       -v  Print the script version and CPAN.pm version.

       Module options

       These options are mutually exclusive, and the script processes them in alphabetical order. It only processes the first one it finds.

       c   Runs a `make clean` in the specified module's directories.

       f   Forces the specified action, when it normally would have failed.

       i   Installed the specified modules.

       m   Makes the specified modules.

       t   Runs a `make test` on the specified modules.

       Examples

	       # print a help message
	       cpan -h

	       # print the version numbers
	       cpan -v

	       # create an autobundle
	       cpan -a

	       # recompile modules
	       cpan -r

	       # install modules ( sole -i is optional )
	       cpan -i Netscape::Booksmarks Business::ISBN

	       # force install modules ( must use -i )
	       cpan -fi CGI::Minimal URI

BUGS

       * none noted

SEE ALSO

       Most behaviour, including environment variables and configuration, comes directly from CPAN.pm.

SOURCE AVAILABILITY

       This source is part of a SourceForge project which always has the latest sources in CVS, as well as all of the previous releases.

       If, for some reason, I disappear from the world, one of the other members of the project can shepherd this module appropriately.

CREDITS

       Japheth Cleaver added the bits to allow a forced install (-f).

       Jim Brandt suggest and provided the initial implementation for the up-to-date and Changes features.

       Adam Kennedy pointed out that exit() causes problems on Windows where this script ends up with a .bat extension
