set variable to Home, then echo it to screen
Major Newbie here folks. I'm trying to set a variable to my Home directory and then echo it to the screen.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anna

You should have a variable already set called HOME. Try:
echo $HOME

Home work questions are not allowed in this site.Please post ONLY real problems.
Assuming it is NOT homework question,

Code:
echo $HOME
a=$HOME
echo $a

variable
I have looked through all data, posts, documentation etc on how to do this. And yes, since you ask it is a homework question. What do you mean, "Real problem"? Isn't this a place to search for help? EXCUSE ME, bargav, for asking. I'm sure you were BORN all knowing and have all the answers.......AND by the way, your reply DID NOT WORK.

Don't bother responding because I certainly will not ever post to this forum again.
