Re: Maths Problem (Grade 3)

Intuitively kids know that 42 is the answer to most important things.
2 things is 42+42=84 - so rounding down to 80 seem a safe answer.

Check:
Estimating in school-classes is usually equivalent to rounding up/down.
Apple:35 ->40
Orange 40
Apple´+Orange is about 80

That'll be an A+ missus!

Re: regex string processing


Why does this work?


string='hello how are you today'
echo $string | awk '{$((NF + 1))="*";print $6$0$6}'}'
*hello how are you today*



It does NOT work.
Reason: Sloppyness and/or lack of awk-knowledge.

Better stay with sed in your project ...

Re: permutation combination by position number in bash?


Conclusion
The script seems to have a logical flaw because it is impossible for a four-digit combination of numbers from 1 to 4 to have 5 unique characters. Therefore, the condition [[ $nr == 5 ]] will never be true, and the script will not produce a valid output. The comment #4312 seems to be ...
