why does this simple program give such a weird output?
I made a simple program which i thought would just count simply. The output of this program ended up being very strange. the program is:
#!/bin/bash
num=1
declare -A A1
while true
do
A1[$(($num + 1))]=$num
num=$(( $num + 1 ))
e=0
for e in ${A1[@]}
do
echo $e
done
echo "e is $e"
echo "num is $num"
sleep 0.1
done
but it's output was started doing some weird stuff after 8 as shown here:
1
e is 1
num is 2

I made a simple program which i thought would just count simply. The output of this program ended up being very strange. the program is:
#!/bin/bash
num=1
declare -A A1
while true
do
A1[$(($num + 1))]=$num
num=$(( $num + 1 ))
e=0
for e in ${A1[@]}
do
echo $e
done
echo "e is $e"
echo "num is $num"
sleep 0.1
done
but it's output was started doing some weird stuff after 8 as shown here:

I made a simple program which i thought would just count simply. The output of this program ended up being very strange. the program is:
#!/bin/bash
num=1
declare -A A1
while true
do
A1[$(($num + 1))]=$num
num=$(( $num + 1 ))
e=0
for e in ${A1[@]}
do
echo $e
done
echo "e is $e"
echo "num is $num"
sleep 0.1
done
but it's output was started doing some weird stuff after 8 as shown here:

command-line bash scripts
I made a simple program which i thought would just count simply. The output of this program ended up being very strange. the program is:
#!/bin/bash
num=1
declare -A A1
while true
do
A1[$(($num + 1))]=$num
num=$(( $num + 1 ))
e=0
for e in ${A1[@]}
do
echo $e
done
echo "e is $e"
echo "num is $num"
sleep 0.1
done
but it's output was started doing some weird stuff after 8 as shown here:
