Unix环境下几何图形计算器Shell脚本菜单循环问题求助

Hey there! Let's get your geometry calculator's menu loop working properly. I spotted a few syntax issues and missing loop logic in your partial script—here's how to fix it and get a fully functional version up and running.

First, let's go over the issues in your current code: #

• When reading the username, you used read $username—it should be read username (the $ isn't needed here)
• Your script cuts off mid-echo (the ec... is a typo for echo)
• Most importantly, there's no loop structure to bring the user back to the main menu after they finish a calculation

Here's a complete, working version of your script with a functional menu loop: #

#!/bin/bash

# Welcome message and username handling
echo "Welcome, please enter username:"
read username
# Get full name from system (fallback to username if not available)
full_name=$(getent passwd "$USER" | cut -d: -f5 | cut -d, -f1)
echo "WELCOME $full_name, This is a basic calculator for squares, circles, and rectangles."

# Infinite loop to keep the menu running
while true; do
    echo -e "\nPlease choose an option to continue:"
    echo "1. Rectangle (Area & Perimeter)"
    echo "2. Circle (Area & Circumference)"
    echo "3. Square (Area & Perimeter)"
    echo "4. Exit"
    read choice

    # Handle user selection with case statement
    case $choice in
        1)
            echo "Enter rectangle length:"
            read length
            echo "Enter rectangle width:"
            read width
            area=$(echo "$length * $width" | bc)
            perimeter=$(echo "2 * ($length + $width)" | bc)
            echo "Rectangle Area: $area"
            echo "Rectangle Perimeter: $perimeter"
            ;;
        2)
            echo "Enter circle radius:"
            read radius
            # Use bc with math library for pi (scale sets decimal precision)
            area=$(echo "scale=2; 3.14159 * $radius * $radius" | bc)
            circumference=$(echo "scale=2; 2 * 3.14159 * $radius" | bc)
            echo "Circle Area: $area"
            echo "Circle Circumference: $circumference"
            ;;
        3)
            echo "Enter square side length:"
            read side
            area=$(echo "$side * $side" | bc)
            perimeter=$(echo "4 * $side" | bc)
            echo "Square Area: $area"
            echo "Square Perimeter: $perimeter"
            ;;
        4)
            echo "Goodbye $username!"
            exit 0
            ;;
        *)
            echo "Invalid option! Please choose 1, 2, 3, or 4."
            ;;
    esac
done

Key improvements explained: #

• Infinite loop: while true keeps the menu running until the user selects option 4 to exit
• Proper input handling: Fixed the read syntax for username and menu choices
• Case statement: Cleanly handles each menu option, with calculations using bc for basic arithmetic (supports decimals!)
• Error handling: Catches invalid inputs and prompts the user to try again
• Completed functionality: Added actual calculations for each geometric shape

To use this script:

1. Save it as geometry_calculator.sh
2. Make it executable with chmod +x geometry_calculator.sh
3. Run it with ./geometry_calculator.sh
