}
echo -n " do u want to see a demo or not (y/n):"

use code tags next time.

demo()
{
  echo  "hello this is a demo"
}
echo " do u want to see a demo or not (y/n):\c"
read ans
if [[ "$ans" = "y" ]]; then
    demo
fi
if [[  "$ans" = "n" ]] ; then 
      exit
fi

I made few changes like adding spaces before ]] and after [[ and "then" keywords
Try to read and see the differences.
