Hey, I'm making a little program that asks you your name last name age and gender.

It works great up until it asks me my gender so i say "male" and it says something went wrong. here is the porgram actually running:




oh bummer.

and here is what I made



what am I doing wrong?

I have also tried no putting echoes in the "if male/female then ..." but nothing changes.

Help please?

UPDATE

spidermonkey helped me now the code looks like:



The problem is that weather i say im female or male it still says "Mr........." and not "Mrs......."

Shouldn't it be something like 'if gender = "male"'

Manta

That is what I just told him.

But only ... [ "gender" = "male" ];

So far we got the code to work, but the IF THEN statement is still goofy

this code makes both female and male (in the conole when i run it) show up as Mr. and not female as Mrs.



[ male ] [ gender=male ] and [ $gender=male] all do teh same thing/

Read your messanger. lol I said try [ "$gender" = "male" ], not [ gender=male ] or [ $gender=male].

well taht didnt work either.

I also have Linux Programming for dummies but that is not helping me right now...

Mission accomplished. Just need to clean up the code a little. Attention to detail is very important in programming.

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo " "
echo "Enter your first name:"
read FirstName
echo "Hello,"$FirstName", what is your last name?"
read LastName
echo "So your full name is "$FirstName" "$LastName"? Great, Now how old are you?"
read age
echo "Are you male or female?"
read gender
if [ "$gender" = "male" ];
then
echo "Mr. "$LastName" is "$age" years old. Cool. Bye!"
elif [ "$gender" = "female" ];
then
echo "Mrs. "$LastName" is "$age" years old. Cool. Bye!"
fi
exit
