linux - Bash: How to build a recursive cowsay -


here's linux command (you might need cowsay application.

cowsay 'moo'

here's command:

cowsay 'moo' | cowsay -n

the result pretty entertaining:

 ______________________________ /  _____                       \ | < moo >                      | |  -----                       | |         \   ^__^             | |          \  (oo)\_______     | |             (__)\       )\/\ | |                 ||----w |    | \                 ||     ||    /  ------------------------------         \   ^__^          \  (oo)\_______             (__)\       )\/\                 ||----w |                 ||     ||

now, of course, it's pretty fun repeat piped command n times. looks little this:

 cowsay 'moo' | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n

cows nested inside cows saying things

but i'm thinking there must neater way of achieving this. let's want 500 cows saying each other, or 1,000, or 1,000,000. surely don't have keep finger on paste button?

here's question; there way in bash (command or script) recursively pass output of command given number of times?

cowsayn() {     local n=$1     shift     if ((n>1));         cowsay -n | cowsayn $((n-1))     else         cowsay -n     fi } echo 'moo' | cowsayn 500

'hasOwnProperty' in javascript -

i use obj.hasownproperty judge whether object has property, when replaced obj[prop] !== undefined , not normal implementation, ask, why behind method can not use it? object.hasownproperty(prop); object[prop] !== undefined; obj[prop] !== undefined wrong 2 reasons: you can explicitly set property undefined , obj[prop] = undefined; . obj.hasownproperty(prop) return true in case. obj[prop] follow prototype chain, return property that's inherited. obj.hasownproperty(prop) returns true if property exists directly in object, returns false inherited properties.
