Recently, in university, we started working with Linux and Bash. We have a task where we have to create 5 directories with the names Directory1, Directory2, and so on. In each directory we have to create 10 files with one random number inside.

I started like this, but I don't know what to do next:

#!/bin/bash 

for i in {1..5}

do

    mkdir "Directory${i}"

done

Can you please help me?

Actually, I think that you should do your own homework, and your question includes some of the knowledge you need.

You understand loops.

You must do a loop inside your first loop.

You should investigate how to get a random number.

Despite this, here you have a oneliner that fits your requirements, if I haven't misunderstood you:

for i in {1..5}; do mkdir "Directory${i}"; for j in {1..10}; do echo $RANDOM > "Directory${i}/File${j}"; done; done
