Question

Answer the same problem as the if statement assignment but use the case statement instead.

You are working for a company that offers driver licence training and you have been asked to write a script that asks your clients how old they are.

If he/she is 16 years old display the message "Please visit our company to take the test!"

If he/she is 15 years old display the message "Please take the training with us to learn how to drive!"

If he/she enters any other answer display the message. "Please visit out website to see our services!"

Name your script "case_statement.sh"

Be sure to include the standard header:

# Created by Your Name

# Assignment name

# Date

Do a screenshot of the code and the output. Submit as a single Word document

Answer 1

The name of the program here is written as main.sh. Please change the name of the program while submitting the assignment.

The syntax of case statements in a bash script is

case "$var" in

case1) #satement

case2) #statements

...

case*) #staements

esac

Code:

#!/bin/bash

echo "How old are you?"

read age #read the age from user input

#perform case statements to print the message based user input

# * indicates other than case 15 and case 16

case "$age" in

16) echo "Please visit our company to take the test!";;

15) echo "Please take the training with us to learn how to drive!";;

*) echo "Please visit out website to see our services!";;

esac

Output:

How old are you?
16
Please visit our company to take the test!
