The given code performs the following functions:
shuf -i 1-100 -n 5 | tr '\n' ' '
Explanation:
-
shuf -i 1-100 -n 5
:shuf
: A command-line utility used to generate random permutations of a given input.-i 1-100
: This creates a range of integers from 1 to 100.-n 5
: This selects 5 random numbers from the range (1 to 100) without repetition.
This part of the code essentially generates 5 random unique numbers between 1 and 100.

:- The pipe (
|
) takes the output generated by the first command (shuf
) and passes it as input to the second command (tr
).
- The pipe (
-
tr '\n' ' '
:tr
: A command-line utility used to translate or delete characters from the input.'\n'
: Represents the newline character.' '
: Represents a single space.
This part replaces all newline characters (
\n
) in the input with spaces, making the 5 random numbers appear on one line, separated by spaces instead of newlines.
Output:
The entire code generates 5 random unique numbers between 1 and 100, and outputs them in a single line, separated by spaces.
Example Output:
For example, running the code could produce:
42 7 93 15 67
