speedtest: Run a speed test and specify the number of decimal points to use (0 to 8, defaults to 2).
$ speedtest --precision=${precision}
try on your machine

This is a command that utilizes the "speedtest" tool, which is used to measure internet speed.

In this specific command, it includes a variable called "precision." By using the "${precision}" syntax, it indicates that the value for "precision" is being passed as a parameter to the command.

The purpose of the "precision" parameter is to specify the level of detail or accuracy desired in the speed test results. Using a higher value for "precision" will provide more precise results, but it may also take a longer time to complete the test.

So, by running this command with the "--precision=${precision}" option, the speedtest will be executed with the specified precision level, allowing for more accurate measurements of the internet speed.
