+# IPv4 Address Validator Artifact
+
+## Files Created
+
+1. **validate_ipv4.sh** - Bash script that validates IPv4 addresses
+   - Uses regex to match 4 octets (1-3 digits each)
+   - Validates each octet is in range 0-255
+   - Returns exit code 0 for valid, 1 for invalid
+   - Outputs "valid" or "invalid"
+
+2. **test_ipv4_validator.sh** - Test suite with 24 test cases
+   - 9 valid IPv4 addresses
+   - 15 invalid edge cases (out of range, malformed, etc.)
+

+## Implementation Details
+
+The validator uses:
+1. String regex `^([0-9]{1,3})\.([0-9]{1,3})\.([0-9]{1,3})\.([0-9]{1,3})$` to match the format
+2. Bash BASH_REMATCH array to capture octets
+3. Arithmetic comparison `(( i > 255 ))` to validate octet ranges
+
+This approach correctly handles edge cases like leading zeros, negative numbers, and malformed addresses.
