Script not working anymore(SOLVED)

Question

I made a basic script and it was working fine for a few hours.I went to work,got back and it stopped working.
I created a folder in  my ~/bin directory and used export PATH=$PATH:~/bin,also i gave the script execution privileges
with chmod 755 pac so I'm not sure where i went wrong .The only thing that comes to mind is that i didn't use chmod u=x pac.
Btw I used echo $PATH and my ~/bin directory was there.As soon as i use the export command again it works

Answer 1

I'm still a noob at this but i think it's shell scripting,here is my script:
I use pac to execute this one
1 #!/bin/bash -
2 #===============================================================================
3 #
4 # FILE: pow.sh
5 #
6 # USAGE: ./pow.sh
7 #
8 # DESCRIPTION: A script to execute powerpill and do a system,refresh,refresh,update.

20 set -o nounset # Treat unset variables as an error
21
22 clear
23
24 echo "Hello unilx"
25
26 date
27
28 sudo pacman-color -Syyu
29
30 echo "System update complete"
31
32 clear
33
34 exit
and pow for this one
1 #!/bin/bash -
2 #===============================================================================
3 #
4 # FILE: pow.sh
5 #
6 # USAGE: ./pow.sh
7 #

25
26 date
27
28 sudo powerpill -Syyu
29
30 echo "System update complete"
31
32 clear
33
34 exit
and this was the error:
bash: pac: command not found
the same with pow
I know both files say pow.sh.It was a mistake that i just noticed now.I used vim pow.sh to start the syntax and renamed it to pow with :w pow
