Homework & Coursework Questions

Stuck on formatting an output. I want to list 6-99 on the screen, looking something like this:

99 98 97 96 95 94 93 92 91 90
89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 80
and so on down to 6.

So far I am only able to print one value per line.

This is what I have

I have defined x as integer x=99 before the loop

then I have a loop to send the output:

until [[ x -eq 5 ]] ; do
print "$x"
x=x-1
done


I was thinking I may need to add another loop within my first loop, I have been messing around but I am just stumped.

use echo -n "$x "
or echo "$x \c"
or printf "%d " $x

to keep printing on a line. After you go as far as you want

Code:

echo ""

creates a line feed (new line)
