Bash scripting is coding where the commands you are running are your external functions from a (maybe 3rd-party) API package.

You are running such a function, taking the output of it, manipulating it (likely with another external function), and using that as input for another function.

It is exactly, in all regards, a coding language.

It even has flow control (if, elif, else), loops (while, for, etc), and all the other stuff you expect of a coding language.

In the World Cup, the team the caught the Snitch still lost.

But, yeah, it's a stupidly awarded game.

Likely intentionally so, though. JK said that she designed the money system (17 Sickles to a Galleon and 29 Knuts to a Sickle, making 493 Knuts equal to one Galleon) because her sister hated the old duodecimal money system in England.

So she probably had some other reason for making Quidditch such a stupid game.
