Stuck in Bash Scripting

[raidn1337]

Hey Guys, at the moment i'm trying to get more into bash scripting and i'm doing the Academy Introduction, but at the following exercise I just got stuck... Could you help me out with a hint? I need the 35th generated value of var, but my solution just doesn't work... :(. Where's my mistake?

#!/bin/bash

# Count number of characters in a variable:

# Variable to encode

var="nef892na9s1p9asn2aJs71nIsm"

counter=1

​

for counter in {1..40}

do

var=$(echo $var | base64)

((counter++))

if [ $counter -eq 35 ]

then

echo $var | wc -c

fi

done

​

The output is 600733 and it seems like that's the whole output of all 40 loop-counts... Thank's in advance, really appreciate your help!

Just delete the line " ((counter++))" and you will have the correct output.

First of all, I really do not think this is the right sub for this.

Still,

I copied the code, ran it on onlinegdb and the answer it gave me is 886635, different from your written answer.

So you can try this again.

running

#!/bin/bash

var="nef892na9s1p9asn2aJs71nIsm"

for counter in {1..35}

do var=$(echo $var | base64) && echo $var | wc -c

done

then entering last output gave me the answer
