Application Purpose

This repo will contain a bash script named “cars.sh” that will help a user maintain an inventory of old cars.

The user will be presented with a menu of three options:

1. type the number 1 to enter a new car
2. type the number 2 to display the list of cars
3. type the number 3 to quit and exit the program
    

If the user chooses to enter a car they will be prompted separately for the:

• Year
• Make
• Model

These values will be combined into a single string with the values separated by colons (:) and appended to the My_old_cars file
 

If the user chooses to list the cars

The program will display the lines of the My_old_cars file, sorted by year

If the user chooses to Quit

The program will display a “Goodbye” message and exit.
