read several inputs and if none input set to 9999
need a script that goes something like this

#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "input up to TEN values, separated by spaces"
read vari1 vari2 vari3 vari4 vari5 vari6 vari7 vari8 vari9 vari10
#set null variables to 9999 (somehow?)
#now echo all variables
echo $vari1 $vari2 $vari3 $vari4 $vari5 $vari6 $vari7 $vari8 $vari9 $vari10
#end of script


now when the user runs the script, maybe they only input a couple values, say 102 and 477. they get output:
102 477 9999 9999 9999 9999 9999 9999 9999 9999
