How can I print my name n times in bash script?

Question

I have to make bash script that will print my name as many times as i put number.

#! /bin/bash

echo "Please enter a number"
read n
until $n
do
echo "$n My name"
done

Answer 1

Maintain an explicit counter. For example, here's one that starts with n and counts down to 0.

echo "Please enter a number"
read n
i=$n
until [ "$i" -lt 1 ]
do
echo "$i My name"
i=$((i-1))
done

This will work in any POSIX-compliant shell; since you are using bash , you can use a C-style for loop to maintain the counter.

echo "Please enter a number"
read n
for ((i=0; i < n; i++)); do
    echo "$i My name"
done

Answer 2

With two building blocks:

For loops

for i in some whitespace-separated words
do
    echo "Hello, $i"
done

This will execute the block inside the loop for every word. It will output the following:

Hello, some
Hello, whitespace-separated
Hello, words

Ranges

The term {1..3} will get replaced by 1 2 3 at runtime.

Now you know how to execute something 20 times:

for i in {1..20}
do
    something
done
