The `bash` scripting language is more powerful than people realise and most tasks can be accomplished without the need for or dependence on external programs. -Calling an external process in `bash` is expensive and excessive use will cause a noticeable slowdown. By sticking to built-in methods (*where possible*) your scripts and programs will be faster, require less dependencies and you'll gain a better understanding of the language itself. +Calling an external process in `bash` is expensive and excessive use will cause a noticeable slowdown. By sticking to built-in methods *where possible* your scripts and programs will be faster, require less dependencies and you'll gain a better understanding of the language itself. The contents of this book provide a reference for solving the problems encountered when writing programs and scripts in `bash`. The examples are in function format showcasing how to incorporate these solutions into your code.
