changing permissions of a file whos name was passed to 755

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Write a shell script that gives a passed file the "755" access permissions. The shell script should:
Change permissions of the file whose name was passed to 755
The shell script should display a message that the named file (name to be displayed inside ") access change was made.
The shell script should output the result of the ls -l command for that file only.
　
Modify the script above so that it assigns a passed file a set of passed access permissions

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
I am just unsure of what this is asking, I think I am making it more complicated than it is. I know how to change permissions using the chmod command but I always have done this from the command line. I also cant get the quoting part correct. i did :
"ls -l */755.*"
echo ""
is this wrong?

4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Sage College, Albany NY, USA, Leroy, CSI221 Linux for Net. Admin.

Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

DROP TEXT SEARCH 
TEMPLATE(7)				  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation			      DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)

NAME

       DROP_TEXT_SEARCH_TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	   Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

       name
	   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	   Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT
	   Refuse to drop the text search template if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

	   DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search dictionaries that use the template. Add CASCADE to drop such
       dictionaries along with the template.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard.
