How to take input from user in bash script?

Question

I am trying to run a bash script in which I have to take input from the user and depending on the input, I have to run some task. How can I ask for input and then run the associated task?

Answer 1

You can use if-else branch to check the input and then do the associated task:

echo -n "Enter Yes or No:"
read answer
if ["$answer" = "Yes"]; then
    # Yes associated task
else 
    # No associated task
