Bash Scripting - String Operations

The following bash script is intended to convert input to uppercase, but it does not work as expected:

input="bashScript"
echo $input^^

What is the error?

AVariable name is incorrect

BMissing braces around the variable for case conversion

CUsing single caret instead of double caret

DUppercase conversion is not supported in bash

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify correct syntax for uppercase conversion
Bash requires braces around the variable when using case conversion, like ${input^^}.
Step 2: Analyze the script
The script uses $input^^ without braces, which is invalid syntax and will not convert case.
Final Answer:
Missing braces around the variable for case conversion -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use ${variable^^} with braces for uppercase [OK]
