Here's a simple bash recursive function. To write it, you can use JavaScript and other scripting languages. Below is the example that shows you how to write a recursive function in the bash shell. Recursive function Precisely, calling the same function within it is called the Recursive function. We call itself and its contents.  Moreover, the recursive functions go in the loop due to self-calling. While writing the code, ensure it has a condition that breaks the loop. Recursive logic #!/bin/bash for ((i = 1; i < 65; i++)) { ((arr[i - 1] = i)) } i = 1; key = 8 function linear_search { echo "Element value: ${arr[$i-1]}" if ((arr[i - 1] == key)) then echo "Linear search found $key on attempt $i" return 0 => it breaks the loop else ((i++)) linear_search = > Calling th same script fi } linear_search = > Calling the same script Output Here is the dissection of the output. Displayed the array's elements until match-condition occurs. In the end, a displa...

Here's a bash script to generate a random number. You can use this logic to generate a random number, and it is useful for AWS engineers. Random number Script - Here's sample logic to get a random number RANDOM=$$ # Set the seed to the PID of the script UPPER_LIMIT=$1 RANDOM_NUMBER=$(($RANDOM % $UPPER_LIMIT + 1)) echo "$RANDOM_NUMBER" If you select UPPER_LIMIT as 100, then the result would be a pseudo-random number between 1 and 100. Her is the output after executing the script Related posts Structured Vs. Un-structured data
