You said you want the read commands to read from a file, but you haven't specified any file. Therefore, both read commands will read from the standard input for your bash script. In other words, the script is waiting for you to type in values to be processed.
If you want to choose a different file each time you run the script, you can redirect the input of your script when you run it, as in:
If you always want the read command in your script to read from the same file every time you run the script, change the line marked in red in your script above with:
I knew i had to specify a file, then i tried adding "num=$1" that didn't work. But your suggestion worked perfectly! thank you!

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
