    A1: The declare -n command in Bash creates a nameref, or a name reference, to another variable. This means that the nameref variable points to the original variable, allowing you to access or modify its value indirectly. Q2: How can declare -n be practically used in scripts? A2: declare -n is very useful in scenarios where you need to dynamically reference variables based on runtime conditions. For example, it can be used in functions to modify variables that are passed as arguments without having to know their names in advance.
