Is there any way to auto-send a “no” response to a script?

For example, I have this script:

JavaScript

I can run yes | bash script and the script will automatically output "yes"

I want to know if I can send a negative response to it and automatically output "no". Sorry if this has been asked before but I can’t find anything related.

Answer

yes repeatedly outputs a string that you give it as a command line argument. The default string (if invoked with no arguments) is y.

So it sounds like you want yes n | bash script
