How do I write multiple statements on a single line?

[ak2766]

In BASH, I can chain multiple commands using

Code: Select all

;

Is this possible?

I was trying to do something similar to:

      startX = 127; lastX = 0; stepX = -1
      startY = 1; lastY = 127; stepY = 1

But I've been forced to do:

  startX = 127
  lastX = 0
  stepX = -1
  startY = 1
  lastY = 127
  stepY = 1

Since I have to do this 9 times to handle horizontal/vertical/diagonals/center. They both look messy but I was hoping to constrain the ugliness to a few lines - .

It's not possible I'm afraid.

But doing something like that nine times can often be turned into a function or done in a loop.
