another python tutorial in bash :)

compare_array.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#This script asks the user to provide a number and then compares that number to the numbers in an array

array=(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14)
otherArray=()

echo please provide a number to compare
read number

for ((i=0; i<${#array[@]}; i++)); do
        [[ "${array[$i]}" -lt "$number" ]] && otherArray[${#otherArray[@]}]=${array[$i]}
done

echo The numbers "${otherArray[*]}" are smaller than your number

I mad this script inspired by this python tutorial http://www.practicepython.org/exercise/2014/02/15/03-list-less-than-ten.html
