I cry 'coddling' again ;) The Bash Beginner Guide in TLDP has them:

for and while loops and shift, next and continue)

When we put together a strawman set of objectives for this, I proposed
two exams. This one, focused on command line aspects of Linux use,
which would be great to encourage (or scare off) people that,
potentially, wanted to pursue a technical career (even just using
Linux for scientific computing).
Another exam was 'Linux for end-users' which would do the GUI
equivalent of some of the Linux Basics objectives. Such as gedit/kate
instead of nano/pico, some file explorer thing instead of cp, mv, ls,
rm, etc, as well as dealing with the desktop configuration, etc.
It also separates out things that will be hard to test (GUI
interaction) in LPI's current delivery model (FITB and MC questions).
I'd like to see the basics level expand to include both of these exams
(and more).
TTYL,
