$ Let's learn together!
Shell is like a special game controller for computers! You type commands, and the computer does what you say.
Shell helps you talk to computers using simple words. Instead of clicking, you type commands!
For example, when you say "hello" to a friend, they say "hi" back. With shell, you type commands and get answers!
user: hello computer!
computer: Hello there! 😊
user: what can you do?
computer: I can show you pictures, play sounds, and more! Just tell me what to do!
