Bash $RANDOM exceeding bounds - bash

I'm having a little bit of trouble with a bash script that is intended to produce a random number between 100 and 999.
My script is as follows:
for i in {1..1000}
do
pin=$((( $RANDOM % 999) +100))
echo $pin
done
Below is a sample of the output. As you can see, some of the numbers exceed 999. What might be going on here?
626
901
1094
456
290
1047
265
221
483
626
848
198
879
474
993
205
200
229
391
325
306
201
800
1004
694

While ($RANDOM % 999) is in range 0 to 999, your output is (($RANDOM % 999) + 100), which is in range 100 to 1099. Is (($RANDOM + 100) % 999) instead of (($RANDOM % 999) + 100) what you want?

To emit 1000 numbers between 100 and 999:
for ((i=0; i<1000; i++)); do
echo "$(( ( RANDOM % 900 ) + 100 ))"
done
Keep in mind that 900 % 900 is 0, meaning that the maximum value possible as output is 899, so if you want your values (after addition) to be through 999 inclusive, you use 900, not 899.

Inverse modulo operations in bash

I am trying to write a bash script that will be able to do inverse modulo operations.
Currently the program can do regular mod calculations but trying to do inverse modulo operations leaves me with wrong answers (either prints 0's or wrong answers).
Is it even possible to do inverse calculations, if so what would be the formula?
Expected Result:
28 14 22 30 18 32 30 12 25 37 8 31 18 4 37 3 33 35 27 2 4 3 28
Gotten Results:
-23 -4 -29 -27 -17 -10 -27 -25 -24 -11 -37 -5 -17 -32 -11 -15 -6 -35 -39 -22

for i in "${flag_enc[#]}"
do
mod=$((1 / $i)) # input^(-1)
modus=$(($mod % 41)) #mod41 calculation
echo "$modus"
done
Oguz Ismail gave the right mathematical expression for calculating inverse mod in bash. I am attaching the modified the script bellow:
flag_enc=(268 413 110 190 426 419 108 229 310 379 323 373 385 236 92 96 169 321 284 185 154 137 186)
m=41
for i in "${flag_enc[#]}"
do
for ((x = 1; x < m; x++)); do
if ((($i % m) * (x % m) % m == 1)); then
echo $x
fi
done
done
I don't know if your algorithm is correct or not, but bash doesn't support floating point arithmetic intrinsically.
So either use bc, or define a function like below
mmi() {
a=$1
m=$2
for ((x = 1; x < m; x++)); do
if (((a % m) * (x % m) % m == 1)); then
echo $x
return 0
fi
done
return 1
}
and use it like so:
$ mmi 268 41
28
Better use a dedicated tool or programming language. Example with the gmpy2 module of python (without error handling, this is left as an exercise):
for i in "${flag_enc[#]}"; do
mod=$(printf 'import gmpy2\nprint(int(gmpy2.invert(%d, %d)))\n' "$i" "41" | python)
echo "$mod"
done

Pick numbers from an array and see if they are even and lower than 380

I'm programing a bash to pick all numbers from a list and print all even and lower than 380.
This is what i have so far, but i get error on if...
Any help is welcome.
n=(951 402 984 651 360 69 408 319 601 485 980 507 725 547 544 615 141 501 263 617 865 575 219 390 237 412 566 826 248 866 950 626 949 687 217 815 67 104 58 512 24 892 894 767 553)
for (( i=0; i<${#n[#]}; i++ ))
do
b=${n[$i]}
rem=$(( $b % 2 ))
if (( $rem == 0 && b < 380 ))
then
echo "$b Par"
else
continue
fi

Matching Column numbers from two different txt file

I have two text files which are a different size. The first one below example1.txt has only one column of numbers:
101
102
103
104
111
120
120
125
131
131
131
131
131
131
And the Second text file example2.txt has two columns:
101 3
102 3
103 3
104 4
104 4
111 5
120 1
120 1
125 2
126 2
127 2
128 2
129 2
130 2
130 2
130 2
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
132 10
The first column in the example1.txt is a subset of column one in example2.txt. The second column numbers in example2.txt are the associated values with the first column.
What I want to do is to get the associated second column of example1.txt following the example2.txt. I have tried but couldn't figure it out yet. Any suggestions or solutions in bash, awk would be appreciated
Therefore the result would be:
101 3
102 3
103 3
104 4
111 5
120 1
120 1
125 2
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
UPDATE:
I have been trying to do the column matching like :
awk -F'|' 'NR==FNR{c[$1]++;next};c[$1] > 0' example1.txt example2.txt > output.txt
In both files, the first column goes like an ascending order, but the frequency of the same numbers may not be the same. For example, the frequency of 104 is one in the example1.txt, but it appeared twice in the example2.txt The important thing is that the associated second column value would be the same for example1.txt too. Just see the expected output in the end.
$ awk 'NR==FNR{a[$1]++; next} ($1 in a) && b[$1]++ < a[$1]' f1 f2
101 3
102 3
103 3
104 4
111 5
120 1
120 1
125 2
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
131 10
This solution doesn't make use of the fact that the first column is in ascending order. Perhaps some optimization can be done based on that.
($1 in a) && b[$1]++ < a[$1] is the main difference from your solution. This checks if the field exists as well as that the count doesn't exceed that of the first file.
Also, not sure why you set the field separator as | because there is no such character in the sample given.

How to replace list of numbers in column for random numbers in other column in BASH environment

I have a tab file with two columns like that
5 6 14 22 23 25 27 84 85 88 89 94 95 98 100 6 94
6 8 17 20 193 205 209 284 294 295 299 304 305 307 406 205 284 307 406
2 10 13 40 47 58 2 13 40 87
and the desired output should be
5 6 14 22 23 25 27 84 85 88 89 94 95 98 100 14 27
6 8 17 20 193 205 209 284 294 295 299 304 305 307 406 6 209 299 305
2 10 13 23 40 47 58 87 10 23 40 58
I would like to change the numbers in 2nd column for random numbers in 1st column resulting in an output in 2nd column with the same number of numbers. I mean e.g. if there are four numbers in 2nd column for x row, the output must have four random numbers from 1st column for this row, and so on...
I'm try to create two arrays by AWK and split and replace every number in 2nd column for numbers in 1st column but not in a randomly way. I have seen the rand() function but I don't know exactly how joint these two things in a script. Is it possible to do in BASH environment or are there other better ways to do it in BASH environment? Thanks in advance
awk to the rescue!
$ awk -F'\t' 'function shuf(a,n)
{for(i=1;i<n;i++)
{j=i+int(rand()*(n+1-i));
t=a[i]; a[i]=a[j]; a[j]=t}}
function join(a,n,x,s)
{for(i=1;i<=n;i++) {x=x s a[i]; s=" "}
return x}
BEGIN{srand()}
{an=split($1,a," ");
shuf(a,an);
bn=split($2,b," ");
delete m; delete c; j=0;
for(i=1;i<=bn;i++) m[b[i]];
# pull elements from a upto required sample size,
# not intersecting with the previous sample set
for(i=1;i<=an && j<bn;i++) if(!(a[i] in m)) c[++j]=a[i];
cn=asort(c);
print $1 FS join(c,cn)}' file
5 6 14 22 23 25 27 84 85 88 89 94 95 98 100 85 94
6 8 17 20 193 205 209 284 294 295 299 304 305 307 406 20 205 294 295
2 10 13 23 40 47 58 87 10 13 47 87
shuffle (standard algorithm) the input array, sample required number of elements, additional requirement is no intersection with the existing sample set. Helper structure map to keep existing sample set and used for in tests. The rest should be easy to read.
Assuming that there is a tab delimiting the two columns, and each column is a space delimited list:
awk 'BEGIN{srand()}
{n=split($1,a," ");
m=split($2,b," ");
printf "%s\t",$1;
for (i=1;i<=m;i++)
printf "%d%c", a[int(rand() * n) +1], (i == m) ? "\n" : " "
}' FS=\\t input
Try this:
# This can be an external file of course
# Note COL1 and COL2 seprated by hard TAB
cat <<EOF > d1.txt
5 6 14 22 23 25 27 84 85 88 89 94 95 98 100 6 94
6 8 17 20 193 205 209 284 294 295 299 304 305 307 406 205 284 307 406
2 10 13 40 47 58 2 13 40 87
EOF
# Loop to read each line, not econvert TAB to:, though could have used IFS
cat d1.txt | sed 's/ /:/' | while read LINE
do
# Get the 1st column data
COL1=$( echo ${LINE} | cut -d':' -f1 )
# Get col1 number of items
NUM_COL1=$( echo ${COL1} | wc -w )
# Get col2 number of items
NUM_COL2=$( echo ${LINE} | cut -d':' -f2 | wc -w )
# Now split col1 items into an array
read -r -a COL1_NUMS <<< "${COL1}"
COL2=" "
# THis loop runs once for each COL2 item
COUNT=0
while [ ${COUNT} -lt ${NUM_COL2} ]
do
# Generate a random number to use as teh random index for COL1
COL1_IDX=${RANDOM}
let "COL1_IDX %= ${NUM_COL1}"
NEW_NUM=${COL1_NUMS[${COL1_IDX}]}
# Check for duplicate
DUP_FOUND=$( echo "${COL2}" | grep ${NEW_NUM} )
if [ -z "${DUP_FOUND}" ]
then
# Not a duplicate, increment loop conter and do next one
let "COUNT = COUNT + 1 "
# Add the random COL1 item to COL2
COL2="${COL2} ${COL1_NUMS[${COL1_IDX}]}"
fi
done
# Sort COL2
COL2=$( echo ${COL2} | tr ' ' '\012' | sort -n | tr '\012' ' ' )
# Print
echo ${COL1} :: ${COL2}
done
Output:

Generate combinations of elements with echo

I need to prepare a simple script to generate all the permutations possible of a set of elements stored in a variable in groups of n elements (being n parameterizable), the easiest solution which came to mind was using several loops depending on the selected length of the group. But I thought that it would be more elegant taking advantage of the ability of echo command to generate combinations, that is
echo {1,2}{1,2}
11 12 21 22
So using this method, I'm trying to achieve a general way to do it, using as input parameters the list of elements (for example {1,2}) and the number of elements. It would be something like it:
set={1,2,3,4}
group=3
for ((i=0; i<$group; i++));
do
repetition=$set$repetition
done
So in this particular case, at the end of the loop the repetition variable has the value {1,2,3,4}{1,2,3,4}{1,2,3,4}. But I'm not able to find the way to use this variable to produce the combinations using the echo command. I've tried, several things like:
echo $repetition
echo $(echo $repetition)
I'm stucked on it, I'd appreciate any tip or help on that.
You can use:
bash -c "echo "$repetition""
111 112 113 114 121 122 123 124 131 132 133 134 141 142 143 144 211 212 213 214 221 222 223 224 231 232 233 234 241 242 243 244 311 312 313 314 321 322 323 324 331 332 333 334 341 342 343 344 411 412 413 414 421 422 423 424 431 432 433 434 441 442 443 444
Or else use eval instead of bash -c
If you need k-combinations for all k, this combination script can help:
#!/bin/bash
POWER=$((2**$#))
BITS=`seq -f '0' -s '' 1 $#`
while [ $POWER -gt 1 ];do
POWER=$(($POWER-1))
BIN=`bc <<< "obase=2; $POWER"`
MASK=`echo $BITS | sed -e "s/0\{${#BIN}\}$/$BIN/" | grep -o .`
POS=1; AWK=`for M in $MASK;do
[ $M -eq 1 ] && echo -n "print \\$\${POS};"
POS=$(($POS+1))
done;echo`
awk -v ORS=" " "{$AWK}" <<< "$#" | sed 's/ $//'
done
Example:
./combination ⚪ ⛔ ⚫
⚪ ⛔ ⚫
⚪ ⛔
⚪ ⚫
⚪
⛔ ⚫
⛔
⚫
The empty set is there too, trust me.
