What are the advantages of bash over all other shells?..

Answer / amitverma

Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful
features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is
intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2
Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements
over sh for both programming and interactive use; these
include command line editing, unlimited size command
history, job control, shell functions and aliases, indexed
arrays of unlimited size, and integer arithmetic in any
base from two to sixty-four. Bash can run most sh scripts
without modification.

Like the other GNU projects, the bash initiative was
started to preserve, protect and promote the freedom to
use, study, copy, modify and redistribute software. It is
generally known that such conditions stimulate creativity.
This was also the case with the bash program, which has a
lot of extra features that other shells can't offer.
