This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.



















  • If you view your command history & decide you want to run command 419 in that history, you can type !419 and it'll execute. Provided answers tell you !! executes your last command, but it has other uses too :)

    To prevent the !! from being evaluated (it's being evaluated prior to executing the echo cmd), use quotes, eg echo '!!' gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Quoting.html

!! means last command.



echo !! will echo last command, which was echo !.

    Easily explained:



    $ echo 1
    
1
    
$ !!
    
echo 1
    
1


    so !! just repeats the last command, so



    echo !!


    does excactly what it's supposed to to!

                      Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                      Image
                      6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
