bash shell nested for loop

I want to wr开发者_JAVA技巧ite a nested for loop that has to work in the bash shell prompt. nested for loop in Single line command.

For example,

for i in a b; do echo $i; done
a
b

In the above example, for loop is executed in a single line command right. Like this I have tried the nested for loop in the shell prompt. Its not working. How to do this. Please update me on this.

The question does not contain a nested loop, just a single loop. But THIS nested version works, too:

# for i in c d; do for j in a b; do echo $i $j; done; done
c a
c b
d a
d b

On one line (semi-colons necessary):

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do echo "$i$j"; done; done

Formatted for legibility (no semi-colons needed):

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
    for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    do 
        echo "$i$j"
    done
done

There are different views on how the shell code should be laid out over multiple lines; that's about what I normally use, unless I put the next operation on the same line as the do (saving two lines here).
