Simple Question I'm Just A Retard
Write a shell script which adds up 10 numbers entered by the user and displays the
result to the screen. You must use the read command to obtain the numbers from
the user.

Can anyone do this? Please

Don't post the same topic across multiple forums. It's rude and you agreed not to do so when you registered anyway.

You also agreed to follow the homework rules when you used the homework forum. That means filling out the homework template. If you don't fill out the homework template we're not allowed to help you.

It'd also really, really help if you show what you tried even a little. Even pseudocode, or a program that doesn't work at all, is something to start from. We can't just hand you canned answers from nowhere.

Do not post classroom or homework problems in the main forums. Homework and coursework questions can only be posted in this forum under special homework rules.

Please review the rules, which you agreed to when you registered, if you have not already done so.

More-than-likely, posting homework in the main forums has resulting in a forum infraction. If you did not post homework, please explain the company you work for and the nature of the problem you are working on.

If you did post homework in the main forums, please review the guidelines for posting homework and repost.

Thank You.
