Dec 8, 2014 at 12:41	comment	added	HalosGhost		@muru, possible though that may be, I remain unconvinced that looping signals wrong-doing in shell. Additionally, I already said I typically prefer a foreach-style loop in most of those cases (which is often not strict iteration).
Dec 8, 2014 at 12:39	comment	added	muru		@HalosGhost Perhaps Stephane prefers recursion to iteration. :)
Dec 8, 2014 at 12:36	comment	added	HalosGhost		Stéphane, I would only argue with you that there are plenty of times to use loops in bash. Looping is a basic programming construct, and is even applicable in shells (though admittedly, it makes more sense to use a foreach loop in most of those cases).
Dec 8, 2014 at 12:21	comment	added	phemmer		@SF. If you want shell, `seq` is hardly the 'right' way. `echo {1..50}` (or `printf`) would arguably be the shell way.
Dec 8, 2014 at 12:17	comment	added	SF.		The beauty of Shell is that there are commands to do most things that are commonly useful but hard to implement. In this case, `seq 50` is the one correct answer to OP's question: THIS is how you print numbers 1-50 in shell.
