Hey nerds, I'm (obviously new to this) working on a simple shell script and this is my question:echo Is your name Anonymous? (Y/N):

Use the -n option to echo to prevent it from printing the implicit newline.

Also you will need to either escape the parenthesis or enclose the string inside doublequotes.echo -n "Is your name Anonymous? (Y/N): "

Don't listen to
>>2-3 , his
code will make your
comp uter
crash. In order to have both the question and the answer on the same line, use
echo "Is your name Anonymous? (Y/N): "; read answer

hmm, neither this nor -n worked. Does it matter that I'm running this through OS X's Terminal?

Use System.out.print() instead of System.out.println().

No, that didn't work. It displayed the "-n" in the terminal.
