N=$(( RANDOM % 6 ))

echo Ask a yes or no question:
read QUESTION
}
GET_FORTUNE()
echo ${RESPONSES[$N]}

Your code so far

#!/bin/bash
#Program to tell a persons fortune

echo -e “\n~~ Fortune Teller ~~\n”

can you - very carefully - click the Reset button and wait very patiently for it to reset coderoad and the script?
Do not interrupt it once you you confirm that you want to reset the step.
Then try again.
(the key here is patience, as this reset button is finicky and if you interrupt it, your environment may be permanently broken)

isn’t it going to reset all my work ?

7

it is going to reset this step. Just don’t interrupt it or the environment will break permanently.
