nested loops
for nested example

#!/bin/bash
# A shell script to print each number five times.
for (( i = 1; i <= 5; i++ )) ### Outer for loop ###
do

for (( j = 1 ; j <= 5; j++ )) ### Inner for loop ###

do
echo -n "$i " #-n means do not output the trailing new line.n do not
output the trailing newline. So it prints the string and does not go to the new
line after that (which is the default behavior), so the output of the next command
will be printed on the right side of the echoed string.
done

echo "" #### print the new line ###

done
