Solution

The Bash script does the following:

  1. It sets a variable named "var" to the string "Tech".
  2. It checks if "Tech" exists as a file or directory in the current directory.
  3. If "Tech" exists, it then checks if it is a file or a directory.
  4. If "Tech" is a file, it prints "Betty".
  5. If "Tech" is a directory, it prints "School".
  6. If "Tech" does not exist as a file or directory, it prints "Tech doesn't exist".
