Task #4 - Create data

This assignment aims at strengthening our scripting skills and learning how to create a well-formed dataset to work with.

We will extend what we do in this assignment in the next one, so keep that in mind.

We will create a short questionnaire and then use Bash to script collection of answers.

Skillsets

You will be exposed to the following skillsets;

1. Scripting user input
2. Saving data to csv file

Expectations

I expect you to work in your teams to create a script that will take input from users and then store their responses to a CSV file. It must aggregate the responses of multiple users and therefore needs to have some form of disambiguation involved in the data generation process.

Prerequisites

The only thing that you will need is Bash and text files, all of which are available in CodeAnywhere.

Instructions

You will need to do the following for this assignment to be considered complete.

1. Create a list of five questions.
2. Write a script that will do the following:
   • Ask each question of the user running the script.
   • Write a random string of characters to a variable as a unique identifier.
   • Write the datestamp to a variable.
   • Accept text input from the user and write each answer as a variable.
   • Save all answers and other data to a CSV file.
