> Do you have to do it without external commands?

I'm not sure what you exactly mean. I may use whatever command except test - I got the assignment this way.

> I look forward to seeing it.
I don't think you'll be pleased with great source code :-)

>The standard test doesn't have a '==' operator.
You're right it has just '=' operator.

examples:
./test.sh 1 = 2 -a -z " " -o -n " " 2>/dev/null # I'm sending debugging info to stderr
./test.sh '(' 1 -lt 2 ')' -a '(' -z " " -o -n " " ')' 2>/dev/null

Code:
#!/bin/sh   


  # File: test.sh
  
  verbose=2; # TODO

  # for debugging purposes; TODO - delete after finishing
  if [ "$1" == "-x" ]; then
    set -x;
    shift 1

    result=$( expr "$@" )

  }
