Tell us what’s happening:

In fortune.sh the command echo -e “\n${RESPONSES[$N]}” isn’t working, when I click Run it says Your script should have the suggests “if” statement added correctly, I’m stuck

Your code so far

#!/bin/bash

Program to tell a persons fortune

echo -e “\n~~ Fortune Teller ~~\n”

RESPONSES=(“Yes” “No” “Maybe” “Outlook good” “Don’t count on it” “Ask again later”)
N=$(( RANDOM % 6 ))
echo -e “\n${RESPONSES[$N]}”

function GET_FORTUNE() {
if [[ ! $1 ]]
then
echo Ask a yes or no question:
else
echo Try again. Make sure it ends with a question mark:
fi

read QUESTION
}

GET_FORTUNE

until [[ $QUESTION =~ ?$ ]]
do
GET_FORTUNE again
done

try using the Reset button and writing again, there may be something else in the file that is not recognised

3

Hi, I did the RESET multiple times, nothing!

4

what are the instructions for this step?

5

Add an empty line in front of where you print the response.

  1. Change the existing echo ${RESPONSES[$N]} line
6

and is it still there after you reset? it seems in the wrong place, it is giving a response before a question is asked

7

Ohh, the line was at the end of the script not after N=$(( RANDOM % 6 )), now it works ! Thx for your quick intervention !
